Man Utd defender Jones has no World Cup regrets

Manchester United defender Phil Jones doesn't regret his World Cup experience.

Despite England's miserable showing in Brazil, Jones insists he relished the experience as he played the full 90 minutes of the final group game against Costa Rica.

"Personally I enjoyed it," he said. "I enjoyed being at the Euros two years prior to that, but I didn't play and that was disappointing. So to play in a World Cup was great, even though we were already out. That was hugely disappointing having been together for so long and trained for the weeks building up to the tournament. But playing in a World Cup in Brazil is not something that everyone has on their CV.

"To wear the England shirt in front of thousands of fans in a World Cup was special."
