Phil Jones has committed his future to Manchester United, with the defender signing a new deal until at least 2023.

The 26-year-old has made 208 appearances in all competitions since joining the Old Trafford giants from Blackburn in a £16.5million deal in 2011.

Jones’ time at the club has been punctuated by injury setbacks, but United have seen enough to extend his stay at the club.

“I would like to thank Ole and the coaching staff for their continued support in my development.”

Jones has featured in every match since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s arrival and the caretaker manager sees the defender as a key force within the group.

“Phil knows what it takes to be a Manchester United player, he has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League and is now one of the senior players within the team,” the Norwegian said.

“He is coming up to his 27th birthday and entering into his prime years as a centre half. We are delighted Phil has committed his future to the club.”

Just last week Anthony Martial signed a new contract until at least 2024, while Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay all agreed new deals earlier this season.

Negotiations are also continuing with star man David De Gea, while it is understood the club have opened talks with Marcus Rashford over a new and improved deal.
