In an exclusive interview with United Review, the official match programme for Thursday's home clash with FC Astana, the 27-year-old said that the continental competition will allow more members of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's group to get valuable minutes on the pitch.
“There are players like myself, who’ve not been involved as much, but it’s a chance for everyone to get games,” said Jones.
“It’s a busy period when all the games come thick and fast, when you need a big squad with everyone ready to fight. But it's a period we relish.”
The big squad Jones refers to now includes Academy graduates like Angel Gomes and James Garner, and he admits to being impressed by their progress.
