Manchester United defender Phil Jones is left out of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Europa League squad to travel to Germany as he stays home to recover from knee injury

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has been left out of this week’s Europa League tournament squad to work on a knee injury.

Jones was named in United’s 30-man squad for the Europa finals, but will now stay at home to continue an individual fitness programme. The 28-year-old England international hasn’t played since January.

‘Jonah has had a difficult season with niggles. He has had troubles with his knees,’ said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
