Manchester United defender Phil Jones outlines his side's burning ambition to lift the FA Cup this season and end the club's 11-year drought in the competition.

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has admitted that he and his teammates are desperate to win the FA Cup this season.

The Red Devils are not competing in a European competition this term, are nine points adrift in the race for the Premier League title, and have also been knocked out of the Capital One Cup courtesy of a second-round thumping by MK Dons.

Jones has revealed that there is a huge desire within the squad to end United's 11-year drought in the competition, with their last success coming in the 2003-4 season against Millwall in the final.

"It's going to be a big competition for us this season," he told reporters. "We are not in the Champions League so there is even more of an expectation to go and put a performance on at Yeovil.

"With not being in Europe, the FA Cup is a trophy we definitely want to win especially as this club hasn't won it for a long time."

Louis van Gaal's men face Yeovil Town in their third-round clash at Huish Park on Sunday afternoon.
