Top 10 things you need to know about new United signing Phil Jones

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/inco...-jones+cropped

1) Philip Anthony Jones was born on February 21, 1992, in Preston. A centre back by trade, he also showed he could fulfil a defensive midfield role under Sam Allardyce.

2) He still lives in Lancashire with his mum and dad, so he won't have too far to travel to his new club. "I haven't really thought about moving out," Jones said. "If I did I would probably just end up back there most nights for my meals anyway."

3) He joined Blackburn as an 11-year-old and quickly made his way through the ranks, eventually establishing himself as a first-choice centre-back while still just 19 years-old.

4) He made his first team debut as a 17 year-old in Rovers' 1-0 Carling Cup win at Nottingham Forest on September 22, 2009. He was awarded the man of the match award for his performance.

5) He played again the Carling Cup - against Peterborough - and in the FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa before making his Premier League debut in the 1-1 fraw with Chelsea at Ewood Park on March 21, 2010.

6) He went on to make nine league appearances in the 2009-10 season and was rewarded with a five year contract for his troubles. Jones became a first team regular the following season, starting every league game until he suffered a serious knee injury in the home draw against West Ham on December 12. He didn't play again for the first team until the following March.

7) He made his debut for the England Under-19s in the 3-1 win over Turkey on November17, 2009. The following August, Jones made his Under-21 debut against Uzbekistan.

8) He's since won five Under-21 caps and is part of Stuart Pearce's squad at the European Championship. Jones should line up for England against Spain on Sunday afternoon.

9) A homeboy, he likes to spend his Saturday nights watching Match of the Day with his mum and dad. "I haven't been criticised by Hansen yet," he joked last season. Stick around, kid...

10) New teammate Wayne Rooney is already a fan. The striker tweeted: "Phil jones is a good young english player. 1 of the toughest defenders I played last season. Can play midfield to." Which is odd, considering Jones was part of the Rovers defence that shipped seven at Old Trafford last season, but there you go...

Former Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce: Phil Jones has the mental strength to succeed at Manchester United
Former Blackburn boss insists United's latest signing always had the mental toughness to deal with Premier League demands and backs Sir Alex Ferguson to build one more top team

West Ham boss Sam Allardyce believes Phil Jones has the mental strength needed to succeed at Manchester United and backed Sir Alex Ferguson to build another successful team at Old Trafford.

Allardyce gave Jones his debut at Blackburn back in 2009 and insists the mental toughness and all-round ability of the 19-year-old were never in doubt.

Asked about the £17 million man’s qualities, Allardyce told the BBC: “I think that there’s quite a number of things.

"I think first of all his mental strength and his ability to cope with the pressures of the Premier League at such a young age.

"He wasn’t fazed, he didn’t look to nervous, he looked quite calm and I think that’s important going into the biggest league in the world at such a young age.

“He made his debut - I think it might have been against Chelsea - against Drogba, and I think he might have actually won man of the match that day.

"It shows that his mental strength was always going to be good enough and that’s one of the biggest factors if you’re going to be a top, top player I think.

“His skills after that was always there for us all to see in training and his capabilities as a footballer where he held in every department the right type of ability to be a very, very good defender.

“I think that eventually, with a little bit more experience - which he’ll gain more quickly at Manchester United - he’ll ultimately become an England defender.”

With early trends in the transfer market seemingly outlining a clear demand for British players, Allardyce believes the changing in football’s rules have added a premium to the cost of young home-grown talent’s such as the departing Blackburn youngster.

“I think in today’s football world we’ve seen a change of the rules where each club has to find a certain number of home-grown players and I think that puts players of Phil’s calibre and of his type even more expensive than they were before,” added the former Bolton boss.

Many are tipping the signing of Jones to be the start of a new era at Old Trafford as Sir Alex Ferguson attempts to re-build his squad following the retirements of veterans Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Edwin Van Der Sar and Allardyce showered praise on the abilities of United’s manager.

“I think he’s getting close to double figures in re-builds," added the recently-installed Hammers manager.

“I think that’s what makes him the greatest manager there’s ever been in club football because of how many teams he’s re-built and how many teams have been successful that he’s re-built.

“I think that this one is going to be as exciting as the first one when he’s getting young players of the talent of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling and of course Wayne Rooney is still very young and Nani, Anderson, people like that - and of course the Brazilian twins.

“So it think he’s well on his way to that re-build already but he’ll want to make sure he’s got a team ready for the next Champions League challenge in the hope that he can get closer for trying to beat Barcelona if he meets them again.”
