After spending 13 years in his career at Manchester United, Phil Jones, who was plagued by injuries, had no choice but to retire at the age of 32. In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Jones reviewed his career and talked about his future plans.

Phil Jones said: "I have experienced a lot of adversity in my career, and I do think that in this industry you have to have a rhinoceros skin toughness, and I think that will be an advantage for me. You can be the best tactician in the world, whether it is on the ball or off the ball, even those exquisite little combinations. Of course, at the highest level of the game, these skills are essential."

"But if now, if If the players don't feel like you can relate to them and you can't interact with them, what else can you talk to them about? Does every conversation have to be about football? Some coaches or managers can't put down the tactical board. It's a skill to be able to switch back and get back to your kids and your family and keep the balance in your life. It won't work because the players will see through everything. Nowadays, you need to build good relationships with your players. "

"You have to be a flesh-and-blood person, and the players need to feel the warmth. If you're explaining opportunities they missed, positions they should have taken, or rotations that didn't work out, take them through the process with you. Don’t just say ‘you should be here’, tell them why. Why isn't he good enough? Your job is to make him good enough. That's why you're brought in, to get the best out of them. "

"Looking back on my career, I think it is brilliant enough. Being at Blackburn Under-18s, I never thought I would play in two World Cups. I also played in the European Cup, won the Premier League and the FA Cup and played in some important Champions League games, so my career was really successful. Of course, I also hope to get more opportunities in some games that I don't play. But I've done my best I tried my best to do everything I could control. "

"After obtaining the A-level coaching certificate, I communicated with Nick Cox, the then director of youth training of Manchester United. I really hope to further improve my understanding and learning ability. It's been a long time since I left Blackburn's academy and I wanted to give myself more time to prepare. Even though I was at Manchester United for 13 years, you can't expect the best right away. position. ”

“I am eager to get back to work because I am ambitious. I love watching football matches and this season I have not only watched matches in the English Championship and Champions League, but also matches in League Two. I enjoy watching all types of football matches to broaden my knowledge and understanding of the sport. "

" Would I like to see any coaches lose their jobs? No, especially now that I want to go down this path. You need time to build your team, I'm tall Hing saw Sir Ratcliffe stand up for Amorim, which is what you'd expect. However, football is a results-oriented sport. If you don't get good results, no matter how long your contract is, whether it's 10 years, 2 years or 5 years, someone will question you. "

"Against Sunderland was probably the most complete game I've seen from United in every aspect this season, but then we have Liverpool, our bitter rivals. If Manchester United can't win Liverpool will next face Brighton, and their current state is not easy to deal with. If you can get a draw against Liverpool and then beat Brighton at home, then you can build some momentum and use that as a catalyst to get better results. How many times have we said this in the last six years? I certainly hope Amorim can be successful in the second half of the season and even win a trophy, that's what I want to see the most. "
