Man United 25-man squad leaves out Romero and Jones

The omission of Sergio Romero and Phil Jones left a doubt on their long-term future at the club, with the duo not making Man United’s Champions League squad as well. Both Sergio Romero and Phil Jones have been linked with moves away from the club, with United reportedly demanding £20 million for the defender according to The Sun. Phil Jones last played for the club in January and has since been injured. The 28-year-old doesn’t seem to feature in Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plans, with several central defenders ahead of the Englishman in the pecking order.
