Sir Alex Ferguson sends message to Phil Jones after Manchester United exit confirmed

Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson has wished Phil Jones all the very best for the future after Manchester United confirmed that he will leave the club this summer.

The Reds confirmed on Friday morning that the centre-back will leave Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of next month, bringing his 12-year stay in M16 to an end. He has not made a single appearance for United this season and was last visible in a training session at Carrington exactly a year ago.

Jones, 31, has struggled with a serious knee injury over the last few years, restricting him to just two starts in the last three years. He last appeared for the Reds on May 2 last year, stepping off the bench as a substitute during a 3-0 win over Brentford.
