Manchester United<\/a>‘s new signing Phil Jones<\/a> has admitted that he is ready for the massive challenge and expectation that comes with playing for the club.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jones, part of the England Under-21 team which crashed out of the European Championships on Sunday, completed a move from Blackburn Rovers which could be worth over \u00a320 million and is keen to make an impression.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told reporters: “I’m not sure when my first day is going to be. I have got to go home first, go on a few holidays and chill out for a little bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hopefully, I will get a call from the gaffer and I’m looking forward to that.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everyone knows they are one of the biggest clubs on the planet. It’s a massive move for me and I just can’t wait to get started. It’s a massive challenge.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite England\u2019s disappointing performance in Denmark, Jones developed an encouraging understanding with his new United team-mate Chris Smalling.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: “Chris has shown that you can go in there and play games for United.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The gaffer has shown he is not afraid to put young faces in the team. When I get the chance I am confident I will take it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Chris is a fantastic player. I enjoy playing with him and we complement each other well.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
