Capello to decide on Jones
The rise of Phil Jones has been so rapid and so remarkable that Fabio Capello will wait until Friday morning to decide whether to award the 19 year-old his first senior cap in the crucial Euro 2012 evening qualifier against Bulgaria. The likelihood is that Capello will go with the more experienced Gary Cahill as John Terry’s partner in central defence but on Thursday the England captain admitted that Jones is "the one I am looking over my shoulder at" when it comes to eventually taking his place in the senior team. "For me, he’s the one who really sticks out in our position," the 30-year-old defender said. "He clearly wants a place in the England side, whether that’s mine or someone else’s. He’s hungry for that."

Writing in The Guardian, Paul Hayward says "adaptable" Ashley Young's performances for United so far have given Capello a clearer picture when it comes to picking his England wingers. Meanwhile, in The Independent there's a opinion piece by James Lawton in praise of Wayne Rooney.
Elsewhere there is plenty of coverage of United's yearly financial results, announced on Thursday.
