Phil Jones, the Manchester United defender, has decided to depart from the club in the upcoming summer transfer window

Manchester United Defender Phil Jones to Leave the Club After Injury-Plagued Years

Phil Jones, the highly-capped defender for Manchester United is set to leave the club after several injury-prone years that saw him make limited appearances on the pitch. The 31-year-old player joined United from Blackburn Rovers in 2011 and went ahead to make 229 appearances for the team while scoring six goals.

In a heart-to-heart interview with his fans, Jones expressed his disappointment at not being able to offer more of himself on the field due to injuries that kept sidelining him in recent times. He said, “I wish I could have played more. I wish I could have given more… It’s been very difficult, these last couple of years…”

The final appearance for Manchester United by Phil Jones was during their victory over Brentford last season and since then has failed to play because of yet another injury.

In spite of all these setbacks, Jones remains grateful for having had a great career at Old Trafford and winning titles including Premier League honors in Sir Alex Ferguson’s final campaign with Manchester United.

Jones’ Struggle with Injuries Takes Center Stage as he Departs From Man Utd

When it comes down to memorable players who’ve come through Man Utd ranks recently there are fewer better names than Phil Jones’. Capped twenty-seven times by England and making over two hundred-and-twenty-five appearances across all competitions during his time at Old Trafford; it’s fair to say he’ll be missed following confirmation of his departure from this summer upon expiry endowment contract agreement.

“It’s hard when you feel like you’re letting people down,” admitted an emotional jones whilst talking about how difficult his injury-prone years have been in recent times. “I found it hard to even speak to my team-mates because I was hurt that I couldn’t help them,” he added.

The news of Jones’ exit from the club comes as little surprise considering how riddled with injuries he’s been over the past two seasons. His last appearance for United came back in July 2021 during their victory against Brentford, since then sidelined due ongoing fitness issues which prevented him further contribution towards success on-field action.

Man Utd Wishes Him Luck

Manchester United has wished him all the best in his future endeavors after spending twelve years associated with the club and winning several honors including FA cup, Europa League and League Cup among others.

“Our number four is now taking some time before deciding his next move. Everybody at United would like to wish Phil the very best of luck for the future.”

Jones Leaving With a Heavy Heart

In an emotional message addressed to Manchester United fans via an open letter, Jones expressed gratitude for having had such a fulfilling career playing alongside some of football’s greatest names while also acknowledging how tough things have recently become due to constant injuries.

Despite being unable to play more often than not these days; still feels blessed knowing full well there are those who could only dream getting anywhere close achieving what he already has achieved throughout professional career so far – one thing remains certain though: Manchester united will always be home no matter where life takes him next!
