Benfica are eyeing Manchester United defender Phil Jones.

The 29-year-old is ready to leave United to play regular football after a number of frustrating seasons blighted by injuries.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has already confirmed he is ready to let players leave next month as he believes United's squad is too big and any offer from Benfica would be considered, says the Daily Mail.

The Portuguese side, currently third in the Primeira Liga, are looking to bring in a versatile defender on loan and that could suit Jones as he looks to put himself in the shop window.

His last competitive game for United was when he scored in the 6-1 FA Cup victory over Tranmere in January 2020.
