United defender ruled out for a month

 

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed Phil Jones has suffered a set back in his return to first team action and will be out for another month through injury.

 

Jones, 24, has only started six games in the last two years after suffering with a series of long-term injuries.

 

The England international had been in contention to make his first appearance since January in United’s Europa League encounter with Feyenoord on Thursday, but Mourinho has revealed the defender has suffered a knee injury.
