Summary: Joining the show in advance of the first glimpse of David Moyes as the new first team manager is Manchester United and England defender Phil Jones who helps us gauge how the new season is about to kick off and how expectations will remain at the same lofty standards even though Sir Alex Ferguson has left the touchline - simply put, same it might be a new era, but the same expectations will be in place. Yes, it might be a period of transition and it has played out all off-season and pre-season as it always does at Old Trafford, getting prepared for the grind and objectives borne of the same objective of being competitive on all fronts, but there is a sense that new leaders will now have to come forward and young players will need to exert their influence in the coming months and years ahead. One of those players is Phil Jones, of course, who has been lauded by many past legends and current players as one to watch in the future as he has cut his teeth at the club on a trajectory far quicker than mere chronology would suggest. Arriving from Blackburn Rovers in advance of the 2011–12 season, Phil has made huge and important strides as both a defender and defensive midfielder and should have an important role to play for his country as England looks to land a blow during Brazil 2014. We discuss his career, the transition, getting prepared for the new season and his rapid ascent at Manchester United, among many other ideas and topics that have emerged since the transition began in May.
