The England international has been a surprise success story under Mourinho since he took charge of the team last summer, despite the Portuguese’s initial doubts over the quality of his defence.

Jones started brightly at United under Sir Alex Ferguson before going backwards, but finally looks like living up to his potential after winning over Mourinho.

Jones has been a surprise star for Man Utd this season.


Mourinho would dearly love to find another John Terry .

According to the Manchester Evening News, Mourinho has placed him in an elite bracket of unsellable players at Old Trafford, alongside the likes of David de Gea and Marcus Rashford.

The report adds that the former Chelsea boss sees Jones as a player who could fill a similar role in his Red Devils side as legendary Blues skipper Terry did for so many years at Stamford Bridge.

The former England captain grew into a truly world class defender upon being made full time captain by Mourinho in 2004, helping the club to a host of major honours, including the Champions League and five Premier League titles

Jones finally looks to have found his feet at Old Trafford.
