Mark Hughes has admitted that Stoke are interested in trying to sign Manchester United defender Phil Jones.
Jones, 24, has been left out of Jose Mourinho’s first three matchday squads this season and is also reportedly generating interest from Arsenal, report the Manchester Evening News.
The former Blackburn defender is also expected to miss out on a place on the bench for Saturday’s trip to Hull and as a result, Hughes has admitted that Stoke are interested in loaning him.
“As I said we’ve made enquiries,” Hughes said at his pre-match press conference. “We’ve talked about a lot of players, too many to list to be perfectly honest.
“Clearly he’s a player that has got good pedigree and is at a good club and sometimes you just enquire to see what the current thinking is on certain players.”
