Man Utd defender Evans: Jones has been outstanding

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has enjoyed playing with new teammate Phil Jones.

Jones has made such an impression at Manchester United since his £18million summer move from Blackburn Rovers that he is already being touted as a possible member of England's Euro 2012 squad.

"Phil was outstanding (against Tottenham)," said Northern Ireland international Evans.

"It is hard to believe he is only 19.

"He has shown a lot of confidence, has a great physical presence you don't get in many players of his age, is quick and has great ability on the ball.

"He has settled in really well, just like Ashley Young and David de Gea.

"You don't have to go out of your way to help them. It seems like they have already been here for a really long time."
