Manchester United's Luke Shaw hailed the "phenomenal" return of Phil Jones to the side in Monday's 1-0 defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers after the former England defender ended an almost two-year absence due to a knee injury.

Jones, who had not played for the club since scoring in their FA Cup win over Tranmere Rovers in January 2020, partnered Raphael Varane against Wolves in the absence of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly.
