Former Man Utd player Phil Jones made a return to Carrington last season and is still involved with the club.
Jones played a role in the Under-18s' outstanding treble-winning 2023/24 campaign after joining Adam Lawrence's backroom staff while studying for his coaching badges.
The details of the arrangement remain the same, so Jones is not on a United contract and it's a part-time role that sees him mostly doing matchdays and taking a few training sessions. The Manchester Evening News interviewed U18 manager Lawrence in December and he was full of praise for Jones. "It's been great with Phil, he is with us weekly. He spends time with the under-14s and under-18s as well so he gets to experience like the different age groups of the academy," he said.
Jones spoke to Ladbrokes in June and discussed his coaching. "I've matured as the years have gone on, and I've enjoyed everything I've done since retiring," he said. "You know, getting my A licence in coaching, I've loved getting involved, I've helped out with the U18s at United this year.
