Newcastle United fans do not appear at all keen on the idea of signing Phil Jones from Manchester United.

The Daily Mirror claim that Newcastle are eager to snap up Jones in the summer, as he edges closer to the exit door at Old Trafford.

Steve Bruce reportedly feels that the England international could enhance the quality of Newcastle’s squad.

But it seems that Magpies fans would be far less pleased with the potential transfer.

Jones has been accident prone during his time with United and has slipped a long way down the pecking order now.

Newcastle are also well stocked at centre-back currently, so bringing in Jones may actually not be the wisest move by Bruce.

The Magpies already have the likes of Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark, Florian Lejeune, Federico Fernandez and Fabian Schar who can play in central defence, which leaves their options in the position looking strong.

Bruce, therefore, may be better off targeting attacking players – as he looks to improve Newcastle’s squad for next season.
