Jones Desperate For First-Team Chance
David Jones is itching to make an impression if Sir Alex Ferguson hands him more first-team opportunities over the coming months.
United are openly chasing new midfielders, but the progress of 21-year-old Jones in loans at Preston and NEC Nijmegen last season has been eye-catching to say the least.
The Dutch club have left the door open for another loan spell next term, but admit they expect Jones to be given a chance to shine on United's pre-season tour of South Africa.
David told ManUtd.com: "I know the Club are probably going to bring in at least one new midfielder, but being at United has always meant that you're going to be up against very good players anyway.
"I'm dying to get a chance. It's been the season that I go out on loan that suddenly a lot of spaces open up in the midfield. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me last season.
"In the previous season there was too many midfielders, there was a massive queue. This year the opportunities might have been there, but you just realise you can't do anything about it."
The 2005/06 season was a split education for Jones. Five months of graft in the Championship were followed by a more technical spell in De Eridivisie.
"That was the idea behind it," he said. "Jim Ryan came to me and pointed out that I'd experienced one type of football in the Championship - the physical approach without much actual football.
"That was a valuable experience to go through, but Jim thought in the second half of the season it would be good to get a decent football education."
After three fine goals in 24 Championship appearances, Jones quickly discovered his goalscoring touch in a more attacking role in Holland - scoring six times in 13 games.
Four of those goals came in David's first two NEC appearances, but he had become hugely popular with the Dutch fans before even kicking a ball.
He admitted: "It was nice that the fans were all behind me straight away, but that's the expectation you carry when you come from United. It was nice, but I still had to live up to those expectations.
"It was a great experience for me in Holland. There, everyone plays football so hopefully I'm a better all-round player as a result." |
