Phil Jones can still re-establish himself at Manchester United.

That's according to former Blackburn Rovers team mate David Dunn has backed him to come good this campaign.

“Jonesy was always a special player — he could cover ground quickly, he was athletic, very determined and so resilient, which he's had to be," Dunn told The Sun.

“He was so tough, as well. And I don't just mean physically but mentally, which has always been the way at Blackburn. So I know Jonesy will have no problem bouncing back.

“I think he's had a raw deal but he's so versatile.

“He can play right-back, centre-back, central midfield, all over the pitch.

“I see it as a gift but it has probably had a detrimental effect on him at times.

“I know he's had injuries but for all the problems he is still only 30 and don't forget, that means he hasn't got the miles on his legs."
