Town manager Andy Ritchie told the Huddersfield Examiner: “Phil has been told his contract won’t be renewed, so he’s seeing how the land lies elsewhere.
“I believe Tranmere Rovers have also checked him out, and at this stage, that’s what I want to do.
“You don’t spend four years at United without having something about you.
“I’ve spoken to contacts there and they said he was certainly worth having a closer look at.”
