Jones Is United Best Player Of August

Manchester United fans around the world have
voted Phil Jones their Player of the Month for
August, highlighting his consistent start to the
season.

While results on the pitch weren’t ideal, the 22-
year-old caught the eye while playing every
minute of three Barclays Premier League
matches to earn 46 per cent of votes cast on
ManUtd.com and its six foreign language sites,
placing him ahead of fellow nominees Tyler
Blackett and Wayne Rooney .

After receiving his trophy at the Aon Training
Complex, Jones offered a frank assessment of
his and United’s campaign so far.

“I think I
have had a steady start to the season,” he
explained. “Obviously the results have not been
what we wanted, far from it, so we need to
improve and hopefully win on Sunday to get
our first win on the board and really kick on
from there.”

Jones also reserved words of praise for
Blackett, who has made a fine start to his
senior career: "He has got a big future if he
keeps playing the way he is playing and
progressing under the manager.
