 are expected to fill in. With crucial games coming fast and thick in the last stage of 2022/23, could the club finally rely on 

 that Jones has not completed a single training session so far due to injury. 

Erik said: "The decision about that [his contract] is for the summer, but for the whole season he's injured.

"I can't say (if Jones will play again this season).

"What I can say is that he's not available for training since the first day of training this season so I think there's not an opportunity for you to recover quickly and be available quickly."

That effectively rules him out despite a central defensive crisis staring United in the face. 

Jones' contract expires this summer and there has been no indication from the club to extend it.

 "Always put in a shift. Will never fault him for that." 

 "One of the only things we've been able to maintain throughout glazer ownership is the clubs ability to look after our own. We take care of our players, from youth to first team to retired players. I don't care if certain players stayed too long on the wage bill, etc. It's a part of the soul of the club, don't know how much longer that will last now." 

 "I'd give you gold if I wasn't broke. I don't understand the hate for the guy, the memes and the jokes are fine with me but man some people are straight up assholes. No one really knows what's going on behind the scenes and the guy has never ever disrespected the club in any way." 

 "Kinda miss seeing his mid run/slide facial expressions! They always brought a smile to my face!" 

 "Must likely will be his last season for us, hope he will be at least fit for his testimonial. He is a meme this last few years but when he joined He legit a bright prospect and had few good seasons before the recurring injuries."

Inevitable after years of injuries all the best for the future Phil something will turn up for you!

I agree with you but the statue of Phil Jones must be put at United clinics and it must read "United most injured players"

Keep him as a statue pls...The luckiest football player in the premier league Alive...The guy outlast the Queen for Christ sake...Since Ferguson... haaa...

What decision?? On Jones?? 
United have kept “Phil Jones” for so long? It would be like getting rid of the gum stuck under the table in the United lounge that been there for so long? 
Again Why? 
United should make him president of how to say at a team and getting paid for doing absolutely nothing for all so many years.
