David Jones has pleaded with Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to give him a chance next season.

The young midfielder spent much of last season on-loan at Preston and later, Dutch outfit NEC Nijmegen, impressing in both spells.

NEC are keen for him to return to Holland next season but 21-year-old Jones has his sights on breaking in to Ferguson's side, having garnered first team experience last year.

United are almost certain to add to their midfield ranks in the summer, with Roy Keane yet to be adequately replaced, but Jones feels the answer to the club's Achilles heel could be found closer to home.

''I know the club are probably going to bring in at least one new midfielder,'' Jones told the club's official website.

''But being at United has always meant that you're going to be up against very good players anyway.

"I'm dying to get a chance. It's been the season that I go out on loan that suddenly a lot of spaces open up in the midfield. I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me last season.

"In the previous season there was too many midfielders, there was a massive queue.

''This year the opportunities might have been there, but you just realise you can't do anything about it."

I want Fergie to give this boy a chance. I've watched him for a while now and he's exactly what United need coming through the ranks.
In all honesty, I doubt very much Fergie will sign any more than one central midfielder this summer, so therefore he must give this kid a chance.
He is a future England player, I guarantee that. He has what it takes to be as succesful as the Class of '92!

What do you think about David Jones' chance at United?

I agree completely, he should be given a proper chance. Looked quality for the reserves for two years, at Preston, and now in the Dutch top flight. He doesn't need anymore loans he needs to be played or sold. Ideally played and will prove himself.

4 goals in 2 games at the highest level in Holland, helped them into the intertoto cup with a late loan spell scoring 6 in 13 and the fans love him already out there. A lot of succesful players come out of Holland and he's proved himself at the highest level there, deserves a chance.

I think other youth players should get more of a chance against mediocre teams in the premier league next season.. we've been slipping up with others lacking motivation and not playing their best whereas youths always have much mroe to prove.

Fergie's been playing people out of position rather than giving youth players chances like he used to.
