Manchester United have announced defender Phil Jones will leave the club this summer after 12 years of service.

The 31-year-old has been plagued by injury for much of his United career and has made only 13 appearances over the past four seasons.

The £16m signing from Blackburn will now depart on a free transfer when his contract expires on June 30 as he attempts to revive his career elsewhere.

A club statement read: “Our no.4 is now taking some time before deciding his next move and everybody at United would like to wish Phil the very best of luck for the future.”
