The English centre-back is eager to come out on in the Premier League this season and claims that unlike last time the Red Devils won’t be bottling when the business end of the campaign draws near.
Manchester United’s eight point lead at the top of the Premiership summit was seen as a binding force for the club, who were aiming for an unprecedented 20th title.
However, Sir Alex Ferguson’s men were unable to maintain that lead going into the derby at the Etihad and eventually lost their crown following City’s late win over QPR in May.
United sought to remedy the situation over the course of the summer and signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 to lead the charge up-front. The Dutchman has been firing on all cylinders since then and has propelled the 19-time English champions to the top once again.
Now http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903, who only recently recovered from a lengthy spell on the sidelines, has voiced his concerns and claims that the side will be hoping to learn from their mistakes and will look to secure the title without conceding any more costly defeats.
Speaking to reporters, the player claimed that the Manchester giants have been playing well in the last couple of games and need to continue doing that so their position in the League is maintained throughout the remaining term.
“I don’t think we can think like that. There are numerous games left yet. Last season was a prime example so we have got to keep on our toes and play the way we did against Sunderland,” said the youngster while speaking to the media.
Continuing, he commented that according to Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 the festive fixture list was one of the most difficult periods in the season and it was imperative that United come out on top, otherwise they could hand the initiative back to Manchester City.
“The manager talks a lot about the Christmas period being one of the toughest spells of the season. To be in a strong position at the turn of the year is vital. We’re in a great position in the league now, but we need to maintain our good form and ensure
we stay there,” Jones was quoted as saying to reporters.
