Phil Jones: Wants to play in central defence

Jones has been mainly used in midfield and at full-back by Sir Alex Ferguson since his £16million switch from Blackburn 18 months ago.

But the 21-year-old has set his sights on becoming Roy Hodgson's regular choice at centre-half.

He told The Mirror: "I would love to think I could be England's centre-half. That's my target.

"It's hard to break into the team as a centre-half at United, with Ferdinand and Vidic playing so well.

"They're well ahead of me in terms of experience. But I have said all along that I enjoy playing at centre-back.

"I'd like to think I can squeeze myself back into the England squad. I have to keep performing well for United and see where that takes me.

"But I love putting the shirt on and playing for my country. There's no better honour."

aniel Storey generally did very well, going against the City won it last year so they're bound to win it this time grain. As for John Nicholson, I wouldn't trust him to predict correctly what day of the week it will be tomorrow.
