Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho refuses to consider selling Phil Jones to Arsenal.
The London Evening Standard says Mourinho doesn't want to do business with Arsene Wenger.
The Gunners are believed to have enquired about the 24-year-old's availability as they continue their search for a centre-back.
Talks have stalled over a possible deal for Skhodran Mustafi with Valencia refusing to budge on their insistence that Arsenal must now meet the player's £43million release clause, having previously indicated they would be prepared to sell at around £30m.
Jones has been told he does have a future at Old Trafford but he is unlikely to play every week and therefore a move to Arsenal could be tempting, especially given Wenger has long-admired the player, having been out-bid when United paid Blackburn Rovers £16.5m to sign him in 2011.
