The 25-year-old has enjoyed a bright start to the season with club and country, starting all three of United’s Premier League wins which have come without conceding a goal before helping his country to the brink of World Cup qualification.

Jones has so far only missed the UEFA Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid through the two-match ban handed down by European football’s governing body for abusing a match official after May’s Europa League final win against Ajax.

The centre-back was also hit by a £4,500 fine for the incident - sanctions the player felt were “a bit out of the ordinary”.

Manchester United saw an application to have the case delayed until after the Super Cup rejected and UEFA has now confirmed the appeal has been withdrawn.

Jones will join fellow suspended defender Eric Bailly on the sidelines when Jose Mourinho’s men kick-off Group A against Basel next Tuesday.

The 25-year-old scored the last time United met the Swiss champions in 2011, albeit a late consolation in a shock 2-1 loss at St. Jakob-Park.
