Jones Enjoying Rojo Link-up

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has enjoyed playing alongside fellow centre-back Marcos Rojo recently but acknowledges that both of them - like everyone in the squad - will have to maintain high performance levels to grab a starting berth.

The duo have been paired together on a number of occasions across the course of the campaign, particularly recently, and have begun to form a solid understanding. Jones has been impressed by the way his Argentinian sidekick has settled into life in the United defence.

"Since Marcos has come he’s played the right way and in the way we’ve wanted to play," Jones told MUTV. "It’s difficult to come over to a different country and a different league and go straight into the team and hit your form, but he’s done well.”

As for the competition for places, Jones added: "We're at Manchester United so you wouldn’t expect anything else in that sense. Whatever team the manager picks we all have to go out there and produce. I’m enjoying playing but I don’t think anyone is guaranteed to start. It’s about taking things a game at a time and evaluating your individual performances at the end of the match."
