THE NOTEBOOK: Phil Jones hasn't given up on resurrecting his ... (Daily Mail)

The injury-plagued Manchester United defender hasn't played for the club in nearly 10 months due to persistent knee problems.

Former Newcastle striker Andy Carroll was in the Royal Box. Gareth Southgate was in the stands but you'd be surprised if Wilson keeps his place for next month's matches against Italy and Ukraine. It doesn't make a blind bit of difference to how the fans feel about the American owners, though, as they keep their fingers crossed for a takeover. It didn't stop Casemiro heading past Karius for the opening goal shortly afterwards, mind. I'm grateful for that and I want to be back outside.' When you've had all the issues and injury wise, you know, it's hard to deal with that.

Phil Jones watched on from afar as Manchester United powered to Carabao Cup glory.

Jones will be at liberty to leave on a free transfer in the summer but a chequered injury history would make him a serious gamble. Casemiro opened the scoring in the capital, with Marcus Rashford also on target to make it a comfortable afternoon. Despite a devastating lack of football in recent years, the 31-year-old asserted that he is not ready to give up just yet. I'm doing everything I can to get back on the pitch. A series of crippling knee issues have limited Jones to just six Premier League appearances in the past four seasons.
