Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted Phil Jones might still have a future at Manchester United, despite not including the defender in this season’s Premier League squad.
The centre back has struggled for game time since Solskjaer was given the job on a permanent basis and last featured in January, but the United manager insisted that despite not including the defender - who has three years left on his contract - in his domestic or Champions League squads his season, he could still have a part to play.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference Solskjaer said: “Phil has been injured and had an operation and working really hard to be back, hopefully he'll get fit during December, that was a natural thing when you're injured, you can't be in the squad can you, but he's working really diligently and he’ll be coming back soon.
