It’s like a goal you would score in Fifa.
Phil Jones made a return from injury last night for Manchester United’s Under-21 side against Chelsea at Old Trafford, and it was not a good night for the England man.
Jones hasn’t played for Louis van Gaal’s side since the start of the year, and after this shoddy display, is unlikely to feature again, as he was made to look like a dunce on more than one occasion during the 1-1 draw.

That was bad enough, until Jones actually GOT OUT OF THE WAY of Chelsea’s Kasey Palmer.

The local fans were not happy leaving Old Trafford.

Phil Jones was utter rubbish, even keeping his time out in mind that was unacceptable performance. That too at U21 level.

"Boost for United as Phil Jones returns from injury." How is that a boost in any way, shape or form?

Not even the Manchester United twitter account had anything positive to say.
