Phil Jones relished his Manchester United comeback after almost six months on the sidelines, even though it ended in a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray.
The defender, 20, was making his first appearance since England's victory over Norway in May, following what he described a "pretty wretched" time.
Jones had a back injury and then required knee surgery, which delayed his first appearance of the season but he enjoyed his night in Turkey as a weakened United team, with ten players either injured or rested, suffered a first setback in Europe this season.
