phil jones I don't know if phil jones is signing for us just saying he is a good player that's all. I haven't got a clue if he is signing or not," added Rooney. The 19-year-old centre-half, who has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Liverpool has opted for the champions and will compete for a place in the United starting eleven with Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans and fellow England Under-21 international Chris Smalling. In the end.
this is a brilliant move by Ferguson. He's found his next elite central defender in Jones, and has given him the chance to hone his craft for a season or two before fully switching him with Rio Ferdinand. He'll be exposed to the pressures present at an elite club without the risk of being overwhelmed by them at first. He projects as a star in the sport in the very near future, and already ensures that when Rio gets hurt (and he will get hurt), there's no drop off in the talent level in his replacement. be a star until he's sure he's ready to have it, as Vidic and Ferdinand can cover him until he's ready. He won't be playing everyday, but he will be gaining the experience he needs to shine at Old Trafford when it's his time.
