Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has no issues with Phil Jones dropping into the England under-21 squad, but admits players can sometimes struggle with the demotion.
.
Jones, 20, was included in Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2012 and has won five full international caps.
.
But he has been selected in Stuart Pearce's under-21 squad for next week's friendly with Sweeden and could be involved in this year's Under-21 European Championship.
.
The United manager is surprised Jones has ben included in the junior group, but has no concerns about the player's reaction.
.
'' I haven't paid much attention to it, but i'm surprised he's in the under-21s and not the full squad '', Ferguson said on Friday.
.
'' It's happened quite a few times to players and it's understandable, but for the players that's more difficult to manage because once a player gets into a full squad, he thinks he's achieved what he wants to achieve ''.
It is a great ridicule for Jones to be playing at that stage. I'm not happy with that
