Jones: United ready for business

Phil Jones admits Manchester United are still learning Louis van Gaal’s new system but the defender believes their 100% record in pre-season shows they are ready for the new Premier League campaign to start.

Jones was named man of the match as Van Gaal won his first match at Old Trafford, beating Valencia 2-1 thanks to a stoppage-time goal from substitute Marouane Fellaini last night.

“It was a great game for us to test ourselves against a top Valencia team,” Jones said. “At times they caused us a few problems but we worked well and battled well. We could’ve played better in stages but we deserved to win.
