Phil Jones: FA Cup crucial for Man Utd this season

Manchester United defender Phil Jones admits winning the FA Cup is a priority this season.

Jones says the fact the majority of players including Wayne Rooney and himself have not won the FA Cup raises the importance of Sunday's trip to Huish Park.

"We all want to play because it's a game we want to win and progress in. The FA Cup is going to be a big competition for us this season. We are not in the Champions League so there is even more of an expectation to go and put a performance on at Yeovil," he said.

"It won't be an easy game down there. We know that. People might think we will go there and walk all over Yeovil but it won't be like that at all.

"League form doesn't matter and what happened against MK Dons is a reminder to us. We can't let that happen again."
