BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United CONFIRM Phil Jones is leaving the club this summer as he admits 'it's been difficult' not playing and plans to take time out before deciding on his career

Manchester United have confirmed Phil Jones will leave the club this summer.

Jones' contract will run down at the end of the season and, as expected, the centre back will depart Old Trafford after an injury-hit 12 years.

The defender joined United from Blackburn and won the Premier League in 2012-13, Sir Alex Ferguson's final campaign in charge.

He has made 229 appearances for United, scoring six goals, and has been capped 27 times by England.

His final appearance for United came in a 3-0 victory over Brentford at the end of last season, with his hopes of featuring this year dashed by fitness issues.
