"Manchester United" is ready to keep their long-serving defender Phil Jones in their ranks, whose contract expires this coming summer, according to "Metro". However, the current contract can be extended for another season, but the "Red Devils" will offer the Englishman a new long-term contract.
It is reported that Manchester's team is taking these actions in order to prevent the 26-year-old defender from leaving the team as a free agent.
Phil Jones himself recently admitted that he would not want to leave his current team and hopes to reach an agreement with the club for a new contract.
It seems that the Englishman also trusts the new team strategist Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has so far relied on the defender in all "Premier" league matches.
The Englishman arrived in Manchester in 2011 from the "Blackburn" team for around 17 million pounds. During his time at the club, he played 208 matches and scored 5 goals. Phil Jones has also played 27 matches for his country's national team.
