Rams raid United

Derby have completed the signing of Manchester United midfielder David Jones.

Jones has joined the Rams on loan with a view to a £1million permanent transfer which is expected to be completed in January, and the 22-year-old goes straight into the Rams squad which travels to meet Luton at Kenilworth Road.

Derby manager Billy Davies has backed Jones to become a senior England international, saying: "David has great ability, a super left foot and boasts a range of passing. I see him as a good, old-fashioned midfielder."

He added: "He is a creator and scorer of goals and can only get better - in fact, I believe he has the skill to shine on the international stage and will eventually turn out for his country."
