Former Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson has said that defender Phil Jones is "a cert" to play in the Manchester derby.

Former Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson has said that defender Phil Jones is "a cert" to play in the Manchester derby.

The 54-year-old, who played for United for 13 years and is currently serving as an ambassador for the club, has insisted that the 19-year-old will be among the first names down on the team sheet for Sunday's game.

"He's got great stamina," Robson is quoted as saying in the Daily Star. "He's strong, he's quick. He's brave and he's got loads of attributes going forward.

"He will be one of the first names that the boss puts on the team sheet for the derby. He's a cert to play. That's how highly the boss thinks of him.

"Things don't faze him. The one thing I would say is that he's definitely a Man United player."

Jones arrived at Old Trafford this summer from boyhood club Blackburn Rovers.
