Jones: The old buzz is back at United

The 27-year-old centre-back is among a select group of just five Reds who played on a regular basis for the first team under Sir Alex before the club’s most successful trophy hunter retired in 2013.

Jones, Chris Smalling, David De Gea, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia all won Premier League titles in the legendary Scot's latter years in charge.

Now Solskjaer, following a hugely successful 19-match run as caretaker boss, has become United’s official permanent boss. Since stepping into the role, initially in an interim basis, the Norwegian has lifted the spirits at Old Trafford to the point that Jones is reminded of life under Sir Alex.
