"I think he's been really, really good," Jones told manutd.com.
"I like the characteristics as a player, as a centre-back, especially on the right side of a back three.
"I think he's got the pace and the athleticism, which I think is paramount for a centre-half, these days, in the Premier League.
"Technically, he's very good on the ball," added Jones. "In the build-up, he's very good and very reliable.
"He reads the game really well. He's strong in both boxes.
"So, yeah, he is going to be an important player for Manchester United for many years to come."
