Philip Anthony Jones (born 21 February 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team. Before joining Manchester United, Jones played for Blackburn Rovers at both youth and senior levels. Although primarily a centre back, he has also been used as a right back or defensive midfielder.

Jones has represented England at various levels and is currently a member of the England senior squad. He played for the under-19 team in 2009 before making his debut for the under-21 team in 2010. He made his debut for the England senior squad on 7 October 2011.

Early life

Jones was born in Preston, Lancashire and grew up in nearby Clayton-le-Woods.[3] He attended Balshaw's CE High School in Leyland,[4] and played for the Ribble Wanderers under-10 team.[5]

Club career

Blackburn Rovers

Jones joined the Blackburn Rovers youth team in 2002.[6] He then joined the senior team for the 2009–10 Premier League season, signing a two-year professional contract.[7] He made his first-team debut for Blackburn after starting the League Cup match against Nottingham Forest on 22 September 2009, in which Blackburn won 1–0.[8] Then in February 2010, he signed a new five-year contract that included a £16 million release clause.[9] Jones made his first Premier League start for Blackburn against Chelsea on 21 March, just a month after turning 18.[citation needed] He was widely praised for his committed and assured performance at centre back, making several crucial blocks and interceptions as Rovers held the champions to a 1–1 draw at Ewood Park.[10] In the 2009–10 season, he made nine league appearances, and three cup appearances.[citation needed]

The 2010–11 season started in promising fashion with Jones starting in the opening match of the campaign against Everton, and subsequently playing the majority of the club's matches in the first half of the season, albeit in an unfamiliar defensive midfield role.[citation needed] A torn knee cartilage injury in a match against West Ham United in December, threatened to rule him out for the remainder of the season.[citation needed] However, on 19 March 2011, he made his return from injury against Blackpool at Ewood Park coming on as a second-half substitute for Brett Emerton in a 2–2 draw.[11] On 2 April 2011, Jones started a first-team match for the first time in four months against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, playing the full 90 minutes in a deserved 0–0 draw.[12] Despite his injury, he played 26 league matches, and two cup matches for Blackburn that season.[citation needed]

Manchester United

Jones playing for Manchester United in 2011

At the end of the 2010–11 season, Manchester United were reportedly interested in signing Jones.[citation needed] Alex Ferguson was apparently impressed with Jones' commitment and leadership skills at centre back when Blackburn held United to a 1–1 draw on the day United clinched the 2010–11 title.[citation needed] On 13 June 2011, United confirmed that they had reached an agreement to sign Jones on a five-year deal for an undisclosed transfer fee believed to be at least £16.5 million;[13] the deal would be finalised upon his return from international duty.[14] He made his debut for the club on the 2011 pre-season tour to the USA, in United's 3–1 victory over Chicago Fire.[15]

Jones made his competitive debut for Manchester United as a second-half substitute, replacing Rio Ferdinand in the FA Community Shield clash against Manchester City. United were 2–0 behind, but won 3–2 over rivals Manchester City in the 2011 Community Shield.[16] Jones made his league debut a week later, again as a substitute replacing Ferdinand, as United beat West Bromwich Albion 2–1 on the opening weekend.[17] He made his full Premier League debut on 22 August 2011 against Tottenham Hostpur in a 3–0 victory at Old Trafford, playing the entire match alongside Jonny Evans.[citation needed] On 10 September 2011, Jones provided two assists for Wayne Rooney in United's 5–0 thumping of Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium. He played the entire match at right back and created Rooney's first goal after a quick throw in and pin point cross for Rooney to tap home. Then five minutes later, Jones embarked on a mazy dribble going past numerous Bolton defenders before his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper but followed up by Rooney.[18] Jones started the away match to Liverpool as a box to box midfielder, different from his usual centre-back and full-back positions he was accustomed to.[19]

Jones scored his first ever senior goal on 3 December 2011, in a 1–0 away win against Aston Villa. He arrived in the box from centre midfield to meet a cross from Nani with a controlled side foot volley to score the match's only goal.[20] Jones scored a consolation goal against Basel in a 2–1 Champions League defeat that resulted in United being knocked out of the competition, heading in a loose ball after Federico Macheda's shot had come back off the bar.[citation needed] On 21 December 2011, he suffered a facial injury in an away match against Fulham, however the X-ray showed no serious damage and Jones returned to action in the 3–2 defeat against Blackburn on 31 December.[citation needed] Jones scored an own goal in their 3–0 loss to Newcastle United on 4 January 2012.[citation needed]

After suffering a back problem and having a knee operation which kept him out for the start of the 2012–13 season, Jones made his first appearance in an away match against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League on 20 November.[21] He made his first Premier League appearance on 28 November 2012, replacing Anderson in the 84th minute of a 1–0 win at home to West Ham United.[22] He scored his first goal of the 2013–14 season on 29 October in a 4–0 win against Norwich City in the League Cup.[23] On 10 December, he scored the only goal of the match in a 1–0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in the final group-stage match of the UEFA Champions League, ensuring Manchester United finished top of the group.[24]

On 1 July 2015, Jones signed a new four-year contract with Manchester United.[25]

International career

Jones made his debut for the England under-19 team in the 3–1 win over Turkey on 17 November 2009.[26] He appeared a further three times for the under-19s.[26]

On 4 August 2010, Jones was called up to the England under-21 squad.[citation needed] On 10 August, Jones won his first under-21 cap, starting for England against Uzbekistan. He was substituted in the 46th minute and was replaced by Liverpool's Martin Kelly.[27] He was selected for the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Denmark and was made captain by manager Stuart Pearce for the final group stage match against the Czech Republic.[28]

On 5 August 2011, he was called up to the England first-team squad for the friendly against the Netherlands by Fabio Capello,[29] but did not end up playing as the match was cancelled four days later by the Football Association after riots in London.[30] On 7 October 2011, Jones made his debut for the England senior team in a 2–2 draw against Montenegro in UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying. After the match, Capello said Jones was "born with talent", and praised his performance.[31]

Jones was named in England's UEFA Euro 2012 squad by Capello's replacement Roy Hodgson. However, he did not make an appearance during the tournament.[32][unreliable source?]

On 12 May 2014, Jones was named in England's 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[33] Due to a shoulder injury, Hodgson took uncapped defender John Stones as standby for Jones,[34] but he recovered before the 2 June deadline.[citation needed] With England's elimination likely, Jones was given a tournament debut as a starter in the final group match, helping the team to a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw with Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte.[35]

Style of play

Jones playing for Manchester United in 2017

Known for his physical power and build, Jones has been called a "jack of all trades" for his ability to play at centre back, at right back or as a defensive midfielder.[36] Despite the suggestion that his best position is centre back, he often fills in at right back.[37] With his stocky build, opposition players have found it hard to bully Jones off the ball or out-muscle him.[38][39]

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has said that Jones evoked memories of the late Duncan Edwards, "If you talk to Bobby Charlton," says Pat Crerand, Charlton's teammate in United's 1967–68 European Cup-winning team, "Phil Jones reminds him of Duncan Edwards with his power and build."[40]

In 2011, then England manager Fabio Capello compared Jones to former Milan and Italy captain Franco Baresi, and former Real Madrid and Spain captain Fernando Hierro.[41]

In 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson said of Jones, "Arguably, the way he is looking, he could be Manchester United's best ever player."[42]

Personal life

Jones caused mass outrage after posting a Twitter "tribute" on the anniversary of the Munich air disaster containing personal branding advertisements.[43]
