MANCHESTER UNITED could use Phil Jones as a potential winner in a £ 80m contract for Leicester central defender Harry Maguire, according to reports.
The boss of the Red Devils, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, said that he would be forced to sell one of his supporters once he'd finally win the Fox star.

And the Telegraph reports that Jones, 27, could be the one who will accompany Solskjaer wanting to include him in an agreement on Maguire, 26.
The center back has only signed a new four and a half year contract with the Red Devils in February.
United has brought in six central defensemen for their pre-season tour of Asia and Australia.
But only Victor Lindelof – who was one of the few brilliant scouts at Old Trafford last season – can be sure of keeping his spot on the team.
The Swede was linked to a move to Barcelona, but he confirmed his determination to stay in Manchester.
However, the future of Marcos Rojo, Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling, Axel Tuanzebe and Jones is uncertain.
Solskjaer admitted that, as part of his pursuit of Maguire, he should reduce his current workforce once the new recruits complete.
"Of course, there is a limit of players, the one who plays will be part of the team and the one who does not have to fight to come back."
"There has been a lot of speculation, but I can not really say anything, we will work to find a relationship with those we have.
"[Another loan for Tuanzebe?] He has a good chance to stay here and play. He had a good season last year.
"He really proved he could play at this level and he came back strong and focused.
"He played well in the first game here (against Perth Glory) and he's one of the most exciting players I'm looking forward to seeing."
