Phil Jones' performances in recent weeks have
surprised Manchester United manager Jose
Mourinho after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due
to injury problems.
The 24-year-old missed the majority of last
season and was also absent during the opening
stages of 2016-17 due to a knee issue.
Jones has been a regular starter of late, though,
forming a defensive partnership with Marcos Rojo,
and Mourinho is pleased with the duo.
"I am surprised how Jones has coped because,
even with me, he had this injury that stopped him
for a long time," Mourinho said at a news
conference on Monday to preview United's Premier
League clash at Crystal Palace in midweek.
