They suggest that the £110k-per-week eaks168app.siteks168app.siterner has also taken the fancy of Southampton and newly-promoted Fulham.

Jones is still under contractic88 by United and is valued at just £2.7m by ic88Transfermarkt.

Their next Woodgate?

Leeds Unic88iteic88ic88d need to add far greater depth and quality to their squad ahead of the upcoming campaign as they aim to have a much smoother run of things after their worrying relegation battle.

In Jones, however, Marsch may be on the verge of making his first transfer mistake since taking over at Elland Road.

He has recruited smartly so far in the shape of Brenden Aaronson, Marc Roca and Rasmus Kristensen but the signing of the Red Devils dic88ic88efender woic88ic88ic88uld be a puzzling one.

Sir Alex Ferguson once lr88lrlr8888lr88lr88lr88suggested that he could be one of the greatest ever players to don the famous red jersey at Old Trafford but a quite horrendous streak of injuries has led to a rather disappointing and frustrating playing career for a man who is now 30 years of age.

That is still a great age for a cenlr88tre-back but the fact of the matter is that he’s now incredibly unreliable from a fitness plr88oint of view.

Jolr88nes has played just lr88lr88four times in thelr88lr88 last two years, which comes down to both a lack of quality and his injury record.

lr88

The former England international has lr88hadlr88 22 separate issues since signing for United which means he’s missed a whopping lr881239 days of action. That also amounts to a rather incredilr88ble 205 matclr88hes.

All of that suggests he could be Leeds’ next Jonathan Woodgate. The former defender turned manager played lr88137 times for the Yorkshire club, the mostop88 appearances he made for any side.

He came through the academy of Leeds but after leaving, saw his career plagued by injuries, just like Jones.

Such was his frustration that he turned to op88op88op88despersi88ate measures such as botox and boiledsi88 grass in a bid to end his ‘injury hell’ when he was at Real Madrid.

si88si88

Both defenders have endured sorry careers, spending more time on the treatment table than out on the pitch. That once led Rio Ferdinand to dub Jones a “si88waste of time” in a rather harsh assessment of the player’s time at Man United.

However, what that should tell the hierarchy at Leeds is that he’s a player not worth investing in this summer.
