Phil Jones Ends 12 Year Service at MU

– After 12 years with Manchester United (MU), Phil Jones will leave Old Trafford at the end of this season.

The 31-year-old will leave Old Trafford at the end of his contract having been plagued by injuries for most of his career.

The defender, who joined United from Blackburn in 2011, has played 229 times, scored six goals and helped their “Red Devils” win a Premier League title, FA Cup and Europa League.

Jones, who has not yet decided whether he will continue to play, said in an open letter on Twitter.

“It’s always difficult to leave a club. I did it with Blackburn Rovers many years ago when I was 19 years old, but I could never imagine what would happen after. My time at United was incredible,” he said.

“This is not a time to be sad. This is a time to look back, to me and my family, and to be happy that I made my dream come true at United. I can always say to my family and friends that not many people get to play for this club, to always be in its history and to be able to look back on it with happy memories.”

Jones hopes the best for Coach Erik ten Hag along with the staff at MU. He emphasized that he would continue to support Ten Hag’s performance to be able to bring back MU’s glory.

Jones has not played for over a year and has made just 13 appearances since the start of the 2019/20 season. The injuries experienced were the cause.

“I hope to play more. I hope I can give more to the many teams I strengthen,” he added.
