Phil Jones added to Manchester United Champions League squad

Phil Jones has been included in Manchester United's squad for the Champions League knockout stages.

During the closing days of the January transfer window, the Englishman turned down an opportunity to depart Old Trafford, instead preferring to fight for his place in Ralf Rangnick's squad.

The 29-year-old, who has barely played over the past two years, has been provided with just 120 minutes of football since the turn of the year.

Nevertheless, the centre-back is now in a position where he can be included in United's squad for their upcoming last-16 tie with Atletico Madrid.

Fourth-choice goalkeeper Lee Grant has also been added to the group with Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial having moved to Everton and Sevilla respectively.

The first leg against Atletico is due to take place at Wanda Metropolitano on February 23.
