Phil Jones has signed a new contract at Manchester United until 2023 with the option of a further year.

The 26-year-old defender joined United from Blackburn in 2011 and has now been rewarded with a new and improved contract.

“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,” United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 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.
