MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly ready to listen to offers for several fringe players – and they are trying to offload Phil Jones.
The Red Devils are still on cloud nine after their dramatic late comeback to clinch victory over Man City in the Saturday’s derby.

Fellow defender Axel Tuanzebe is also up for sale by the Red DevilsGetty
They are currently fourth in the Premier League, a point behind their second-placed neighbours, as they prepare to face Crystal Palace tomorrow.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s controversial departure left them short up front.
But Erik ten Hag moved quickly this month to address that problem by bringing in Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley.
Goalkeeper Jack Butland has also arrived from Wednesday’s opponent’s to provide back-up to David De Gea.

Footy Insider has now named three of the main ones that United are ready to listen to offers for.
And former England international defender Jones, 30, is one of those.

He has played only 13 games in four seasons and his last appearance came in May after an injury-hit few years.
However, he is not the only defender available with Axel Tuanzebe also up for sale.
The 25-year-old has also not featured this term and Ten Hag is ready to let him leave.And the trio is completed by veteran keeper Tom Heaton, 36, whose place on the bench can now be filled by Butland.
