Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones has graduated from the PFA Business School, alongside several fellow professionals. The 33-year-old used the milestone to offer hints about his next steps beyond football.
Jones completed the course with players including Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul, former Leicester defender Danny Simpson and Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gündogan. The PFA Business School programme helps footballers prepare for life after the game by teaching essential business skills. Jones, who made over 200 appearances for United before leaving in 2023, has not played since. His graduation suggests he is already planning a new career path, possibly in coaching, media or business ventures. The event highlights the growing support for players transitioning out of professional sport.
