Jones has enjoyed a fine season at Manchester United.

After years of injuries, the Blackburn defender has stayed fit to force his way into Jose Mourinho’s starting line-up.

His return to both fitness and form comes after three difficult years under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal.

However, despite competition for places being fierce, Jones has praised his fellow United defenders.

And the 24-year-old has labelled one particular star a machine – club veteran Antonio Valencia.

“There's just one word for Antonio – machine! The guy is a machine,” he told club magazine Inside United.
