Derby County caretaker boss Wayne Rooney wants to bring Manchester United outcast Phil Jones in on loan over the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are set to allow the outcast defender, 28, to leave on loan this winter.

Premier League clubs Burnley and West Brom are both interested in the £120,000-a-week star.

But Jones could be tempted to link up with former United team-mate Rooney at Derby, according to the Daily Star.

Jones was left out of Man Utd's 25-man Premier League squad earlier this season.

And boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to loan him to keep himself match fit.
