Phil Jones is having a very good season and proving what a versatile player he is. 

  It’s hard to find his best position as he seems to be at home wherever Sir Alex plays him. 

             His passion and determination remind me of two of Manchester United's greats; Bryan Robson and Roy Keane.  

  He goes in fairly on every tackle and has the 'never give up attitude' which I'm sure has been instilled in him by his Manager. 
                                                                            

   I can see him staying at Old Trafford for a long time to come and barring injuries, a regular in the International set up. 

   He's a very English type of footballer; a 'no nonsense let's get the job done' player. 

   His team mates know what they'll get and that can only help and it shows. 

    Manchester United will win the Premiership title this season and Phil Jones will get to lift the trophy as a player; one day soon it will be as Captain.

   In the long term I can see him as a centre back in the Steve Bruce mould. Going in bravely and spilling blood when needed.  
   His facial expressions alone are worth watching; sometimes he looks as if he killed someone rather than got a clearance or a header wrong!

    Football is in safe hands thanks to players like Jones even if he has given some players a kick in the balls.
