Manchester United defender Phil Jones has revealed he grew up watching Chelsea legend John Terry. He described Terry as his hero.

Speaking to Sunday Times, Jones said: “A hero is John Terry. Terry was one I love to watch. His range of passing was superb.

“People would say Terry’s an old-school type but when you watch him on the ball, he’s terrific. I wish I had his passing. It’s incredible.

“I can be physical, and I can play out from the back. I see myself as an all-rounder. I don’t see myself as ‘old school’. Or as this pretty little player. If people put the tag on my head, so be it.”
