Phil Jones fears for Burnley move in January

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has started fearing for his move to Burnley in January.

According to a report by Daily Star, United defender Jones’ move to Burnley is under threat amid a planned takeover of the Clarets.

Burnley are in talks over a £200m takeover led by Egyptian businessman Mohamed El Kashany and lawyer Chris Farnell.

Should the takeover go through, Burnley would not have to sell their prized possession James Tarkowski in the coming transfer windows. Premier League side West Ham remain keen to sign Tarkowski.

If a situation regarding Tarkowski’s departure arises, Burnley manager Sean Dyche is said to have penciled in a loan swoop for Jones.

The success of the takeover would leave Phil Jones’ future at crossroads. It would also clear the way for Championship strugglers Derby and Middlesbrough to make a move for the versatile ex-Blackburn star.

Jones is not included in United’s Champions League and Premier League squads for the season. His spell at Old Trafford is nearing an end. He has not featured for United since January.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given him a way back. Speaking to the media, Solskjaer said :

” Phil has been injured and he’s had an operation and he’s working really hard to be back”.

“He’ll hopefully get fit during December”.

“That was a natural thing, when you’re injured you can’t really be in the squad, can you?”

“He’s working really diligently and he’ll be coming back soon.”
