Report: Phil Jones to sign new Manchester United contract this week

Phil Jones will sign a new Manchester United contract this week, according to reports.

The 23-year-old's current contract expires in 2016, and the Daily Mail claims that he will earn £80k per week as part of the deal.

Fellow central defender Chris Smalling also signed a long-term deal in April, and it is believed that Jones has been offered a similar contract.

Jones joined Manchester United from Blackburn Rovers for £16m in 2011.
