Phil Jones may be on his way to Ligue 1

has been interested in signing

center-back

, who has been away from his ideal form because of multiple long-term injuries, and the former England international may make a mid-season move to the Ligue 1 side following his recent return to the action, which was in the Red Devils’ clash against

in January in the Premier League.

The Ligue 1 side is looking to sign a defender, and Manchester United’s experienced center-back seems to be their high-priority target, and they are trying to complete the deal before the transfer window closes.

It isn’t clear if Jones’ move would be a loan move or a permanent one, but it seems like a necessary move with

Otavio

and

Josh Maja

both set to leave.

Manchester United boss

Ralf Rangnick

has talked about the English defender insisting that the player’s performance against Wolves after a long absence, insisting that he did his part of the job in the best possible way.

He said:

"I think he did well, not having played for two years at this kind of level.

"We didn't see that [effects of the absence] in the game. He did his job and did exactly what I expected him to do."
