The 19-year-old looks certain to leave Ewood Park in the next few days in a deal believed to be worth around £15million.
Liverpool were seen as favourites to sign Jones following reports on Wednesday morning that the centre-back was on Merseyside to undergo a medical.
British bookmaker Sky Bet on Wednesday lunchtime suspended betting on the youngster joining the Merseysiders following speculation that he was on his way to Liverpool's Melwood training ground to undergo a medical.
But just hours later, Sky Sports News broke the news that Premier League champions Manchester United looked to have beaten their rivals to the signature of the highly-rated defender.
Jones will sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford providing he comes through his medical, with reports on Wednesday afternoon emerging that he also turned down the chance to join Arsenal.
