Phil Jones Rumors & News

The Busby Babe continues with the fourth installment of our 2012-13 Manchester United player reviews. Next up is the versatile Phil Jones. * Manchester United 20|13 season review I'm going to be dividing each of the player reviews into three categories: 'what was expected' will be a brief and general explanation of what the expectations were for the player prior to the season's start, 'what we got' will typically be the section with the most depth as this will be the heart of the review, and 'what's next?' will be an examination of the player's future at United. What was expected The 2...

The lead at the top of the Premier League has been cut to 12 points as City took the three points in the derby at Old Trafford. A match full of passion was decided in the second half. Phil Jones (Or perhaps a Vincent Kompany OG) cancelled out James Milner's powerful deflected shot only for Sergio Aguero to score the winner from the bench ten minutes from time. Overall it was quite a disappointing performance from Manchester United. The first ten minutes was open but City soon took control. United's defence stood firm however, Phil Jones particularly impressing, standing in for the inju...

Phil Jones has given Manchester United's Wembley hopes a massive boost by stepping up his fitness work and setting his sights on an FA Cup comeback against Chelsea.

This storystream will contain pre-/in-/post- match coverage of Manchester United's Premier League clash with Reading FC at Old Trafford. After hints to the contrary, Sir Alex Ferguson was true to form, disclosing that neither Phil Jones's ankle nor Luis Nani's hamstring were feeling up to facing Reading at Old Trafford on Saturday. There were hints that Nani's hamstring injury that forced him off against Chelsea last week was not a serious one. However, it looks like things got worse for the unlucky winger, although it still fell under 'slight' for Sir Alex: "We will keep him out for...

After hints to the contrary, Sir Alex Ferguson was true to form, disclosing that neither Phil Jones's ankle nor Luis Nani's hamstring were feeling up to facing Reading at Old Trafford on Saturday. There were hints that Nani's hamstring injury that forced him off against Chelsea last week was not a serious one. However, it looks like things got worse for the unlucky winger, although it still fell under 'slight' for Sir Alex: "We will keep him out for a couple of weeks. We thought it could have been another bad hamstring injury. It is a slight one. He won't be ready for Sunderland but c...

In his weekly press conference and before the FA Cup Quater Final tie against Chelsea, Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that Phil Jones will miss the game recovering from his ankle injury against Reading. Jones will be out for another week, likely making his comeback against the same team in the league, while Ryan Giggs will be rested. "Giggs won't play because he was the best player on the pitch on Tuesday. He's done his bit for us this week. Now we'll rest him and prepare him for next week." It's safe to say there are no arguments there. It's unlikely that Giggs was going to play in ...

It's been speculated and now it's been confirmed by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson: Phil Jones will be unavailable for tomorrow night's UEFA Champions League tie against Real Madrid because of an ankle injury sustained against Reading in a recent FA Cup clash. It's obviously unfortunate because of the tremendous job the energetic 20-year-old did in providing inside cover against the unstoppable Cristiano Ronaldo whenever the former United attacker drifted away from the left flank during the reverse leg at the Bernabeu. Without the Englishman, the Reds will be a different s...
