Manchester United have confirmed that Phil Jones will leave the club at the end of the season, with the defender’s 12 year-stay at Old Trafford coming to an end.
Jones, 31, made 229 appearances for United after joining from Blackburn Rovers in 2011. A series of injuries have limited his playing time in recent seasons, with the former England international having started just twice in the last three years.
“It's been very difficult, the last couple of years,” said Jones. “There's no denying that. There is no hiding away from that. My family have been absolutely instrumental in keeping me on the straight and narrow and keeping me focused, to try to get fit and try to play more.
