Jones among four defensive seniors dumped to Man Utd U23 dressing room

Phil Jones has been forced out of Manchester United's dressing room.

The club's first-team training facility at Carrington is designed to accommodate no more than 24 players and has been at maximum capacity following Manchester United's summer spending spree.

And out-of-favour centre-back Jones is reportedly one of the casualties of United's dressing room clear out, marking another blow in his ill-fated career at Old Trafford.

The Sun says third-choice left-back Brandon Williams, 20-year-old Teden Mengi and fellow centre-half Axel Tuanzebe have also been told to pack their bags and move down the corridor to the under-23 changing room, according to the Sun.

Former Ajax head coach Ten Hag made six new additions to the Red Devils' squad this summer following his appointment in April.

Room at Carrington has squeezed since the arrivals of playmaker Christian Eriksen, ex-Real Madrid star Casemiro, goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, left-back Tyrell Malacia and former Ajax pair Antony and Lisandro Martinez.
