Stoke City confirm interest in Manchester United defender Phil Jones

Stoke City are keen to bring Manchester United defender Phil Jones to the club as assistant manager Mark Bowen admitted "something may happen."

The England international has had a long list of injuries that have curtailed his United career since moving from Blackburn Rovers.

With Jose Mourinho seemingly set on Eric Bailly and Danny Blind as his centre-back pairing -- with Chris Smalling also in the mix -- Jones may be forced into looking away from Old Trafford for game time.

Stoke coach Mark Hughes is a firm admirer of the English defender, and assistant Bowen confirmed his boss' desire to see Jones in the red and white of Stoke.
