O'Neill told BBC NI: “We had discussions with Jonny while we were in Spain and he openly indicated that if he didn’t get an agreement with Man Utd he possibly may not play this season.
"But thankfully that’s not the case and he still has a lot to play for.
"I hope he stays as injury free as possible and gets as many minutes as possible, as he still has a huge amount to offer for Northern Ireland, and for Manchester United."
