Phil Jones has revealed how Manchester United’s first-team players are keeping up their competitive spirits during this time of self-isolation.

While all members of the squad are housebound at present due to the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve continued to stay in regular contact with one another.

But with professional athletes there’s always going to be a bit of friendly competition, and the players have come up with new ways to challenge each other.

“We have a WhatsApp group and we’re doing our day-to-day routines on the bike, or going out for a run,”

Phil told club media.

“We’ve all been posting our times in the group to keep everyone involved and engaged. That’s the only way to keep in contact at the moment – via technology.
