Man Utd defender Jones leaves Bordeaux disappointed

Manchester United defender Phil Jones' move to Bordeaux is set to fall through.

The centre-back put himself in the shop window after turning in a willing performance against Wolves - his first appearance for United in two years.

But according to Fabrizio Romano, the former England international has passed up on the opportunity to play in Ligue 1.

The transfer guru said on Twitter: "After agreement reached between Manchester United and Bordeaux, Phil Jones has decided to turn down this opportunity.

"Loan deal seems to be collapsed, as things stand."

Jones had been linked with a transfer to newly mega-rich Newcastle.
