David Moyes need not dip into the transfer market for a defender as he has a brilliant replacement right in front of his nose. Jones has been one of the most consistent players this season but has been mainly used as a holding midfielder.

The 21-year-old gave a brilliant performance in his preferred center-back role in the 2-1 loss against Stoke City before he was injured showing everyone that he is more than capable of filling the void left by Vidic this summer.

Jones has great technical abilities which will only get better as he matures. The only problem with Jones is his tendency to pick up injuries often. The England international has a bright future and will surely take the captain’s armband for his club and possibly country in the future.
