West Ham are believed to be exploring the possibility of signing Manchester United duo Phil Jones and Nemanja Matic this summer.
Whilst much of the talk has been around another Old Trafford outcast currently on loan at the London Stadium, Jesse Lingard, David Moyes could be casting an eye on other squad members at his former employers.

Matic has played 226 times in the English top-flight across spells with Chelsea and Manchester United.
