COMMENTARY
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Huddersfield Town on Sunday and a large number of Man United fans were fuming with one player’s performance during that disappointing result. The player in question was none other than defender Phil Jones. The centre-back was annihilated on Twitter as if fans weren’t calling for him to be sold, they were dubbing him a liability and a clown. It’s fair to say Jones isn’t a fan favourite amongst the Man United faithful and it’s easy to see why. The defender is so clumsy when in possession and always looks like he has a mistake in him. While Jones can be strong in the air and an experience presence to call upon, it’s not enough to warrant being in Man United’s first-team. For every good performance Jones has submitted in his time at Old Trafford, you can name five displays where he has let his side down. Jones may still have plenty of time left on his Man United contract but his future at the club is surely in jeopardy.

The biggest problem I’ve seen with Ole is his obsession with players like Jones and Young. The trend suggests that they are a liability waiting to happen. I’m really worried about this. Honestly. #mufc

Jones is such a liability, can’t understand why he has been given a new contract. #jonesout #mufc #mutv #bbcfootball
