“I’ve had a pretty wretched four or five months.”
Jones was already suffering with a back injury when he underwent surgery on a torn meniscus in his knee back in September.
Whilst it was said he would be out for 6-8 weeks, he was out for slightly longer but the 20 year old hopes to have put his injury problems behind him now and is looking forward to picking up where he left off after an impressive debut season at Old Trafford.
Speaking to Sky Sports after last night’s game, Jones said:
“I’m knackered to be honest.
“It wasn’t the best of pitches to play on either. It was quite heavy on the legs but I’m delighted to get through 90 minutes. I’m buzzing about that. It’s been difficult. I’ve had my downs. I picked up a few niggles and had surgery on my knee so I’ve had a pretty wretched four or five months.
“I’ve been in the gym every day and it’s not easy. I had to concentrate on getting myself fit and worked quite hard to get to where I am now so I’m just delighted to be back. I’ll feel stiff on Wednesday but everything is fine.
“Hopefully I can push on now, get back in the team and prove why I should be here.”
