Manchester United defender Phil Jones is delighted to be back in action.

Jones says he is looking to kick on with his match fitness and performances in the coming weeks.

"I feel good and fit and strong," Jones told manutd.com. "Obviously I haven't played a lot of minutes yet, I've had one full game, but I felt good. I'd done a lot of work in the gym and worked on my strength and conditioning so I went into that game relatively confident in myself. I got through the 90 minutes and felt comfortable.

"Now, I've just got to knuckle down, train well and when I get the chance perform well. Hopefully I can get a few more games under my belt and get up to speed with my match fitness. It may take a few games to get back to that level but I'm champing at the bit and I hope I can pick up some more minutes as the season progresses."
