Manchester United defender Phil Jones has returned to full training with the club, according to a report.

Jones has made a full recovery from the thrombosis that has kept him out of the last month of fixtures, The Mirror claims.

United manager Louis van Gaal had previously stated that the centre-half would not train until next week.

"Jones was already injured so I have two injured players. It is going very well with him, the clot has gone. We need the permission of the specialist at the hospital but I think, next week, he will train again with us," Van Gaal told the club's official website.

The England international is not fit enough to make the United squad for the club's home clash with Liverpool on Saturday.
