Man Utd defender Jones mixed emotions after title defeat

Manchester United defender Phil Jones admits his successful first season at the club has been a "mixed bag".

Despite his international commitments, the 20-year-old is already relishing the chance to claim the title back from Manchester City once the new season gets underway in August.

"It was mixed feelings at the final whistle," he recalled to ManUtd.com. "I thought we'd pulled off the impossible at first, we thought QPR had done us a massive favour with a difficult task of going to the Etihad. But then City scored two goals in quick succession and that killed us.

"I'll take that on board with what I've learned this season. It's been a massive learning curve for me and I've played a lot of games this season and I've really enjoyed playing."
