Jones may play for first time in 11 months

Jones' last appearance for the Red Devils came in a victory over Swansea in January but has since not featured due to a knee problem.

The defender has not been included in the United first team squad this season until now and Jose Mourinho says that he may have to throw Jones in at the deep end in order to help him get back to full fitness.

"We do not have enough time for him to get in a good condition. Maybe we have to play him," the United boss said.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia will also face a spell on the sidelines due to a broken arm.
