Ex-United defender eyes management path with patience

Phil Jones, 33, is earning his UEFA Pro Licence and coaching Manchester United’s academy talents while plotting a future in management. He insists there’s no rush—after all, you can’t just sub yourself into the manager’s chair like it’s the 85th minute at Old Trafford.

Jones praised Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s support for Ruben Amorim but reminded that results matter most. The former defender hopes United’s clash with Liverpool sparks momentum and dreams of seeing Amorim lift silverware by season’s end.
