Man Utd defender Jones: I just want to stay fit

Manchester United defender Phil Jones is delighted to be back in action.

The England international made his first appearance of the season in last week's Capital One Cup clash with Ipswich Town and enjoyed another cameo against Sunderland at the weekend, before stepping off the bench for the third successive game during Wednesday's Champions League win over Wolfsburg.

"I am fit," Jones told MUTV. "I got 20 or 25 minutes against Ipswich, 20 minutes against Sunderland and just under 20 minutes tonight so I am slowly getting back to it and getting my fitness back, and my sharpness back. I feel good, so hopefully I can just stay fit and integrate my way back into the side."
