Absolute dog shit, no wonder we are a shambles when we have players like him about to enter their 9th season at the club. Being British helps sometimes I guess.
That is all it is about. End of. He will be getting a testimonial for goodness sake.
We are a disgrace of a club and he's a disgrace of a player.
Giving him a new contract is probably a sign of standard of the players that might be available or willing to come to us in the summer. Probably a reality that people need to get used to.

There are players in the Czech league who could do a better job than Phil Jones and will cost peanuts.
It’s not a case of black and white, you don’t have to buy Varane for 100m to improve on Phil feckin Jones.
Ake would be better. I would be better.
Yeh and they could turn out to be another Bailly or Rojo, no guarantees.
Woodward is a moron for giving him a contract, absolute moron. He extended Rojo too who now is a liability.
Supposedly to protect their value. What fecking value? Nobody would want them or their inflated wages.
At least we made sure he isn't leaving on a free any time soon.
Think him signing that contract is one of the low points of this club in the last six years. Disgusting. What message does it send?
How is it two top manager's misjudged Calamity Jones so?
Exactly the thread bump I needed to see on a Monday morning.
I remember thinking Jones was nothing special when I witnessed this
Brilliant how he got away from his attacker.
Mid table player at best, which is probably where we’re heading.
Looks like a removal man

Was really happy when we signed him because he looked really good at Blackburn. He did well in first season or 2 but after that he simply didn't improved at all.
Shocking that he's still here.

Why the feck did we give him a new contract
Just contemplate that he is not far off a testimonial game. Let that sink in for a moment.Why the feck did we give him a new contract
Is this what is known as a false no. 9?
I remember this, ended 3-0 fans were calling for SAF's head.
I think everyone should head over to Twitter and have a look at this.....
I'm done.
I'm done.
I think he’s better as a DM.
I think Sir Alex was probably the last to play him there

What on earth is going on here? Can someone just shoot these pr!cks. Should be embarrassed by the season and hiding in shame. Not posting your new haircut/style on fecking Twitter.
It's interesting, because as a fanbase we can't make up our minds... Phil Jones isn't a flashy social media brand, and although he's never likely to become the defender he was signed to be, he isn't nearly as bad as some people make out. If he signed a contract with big wages it would have been all over the papers... so he clearly signed a relatively modest contract with a view to staying at the club he's made his home since he was a teenager. I like Phil, and Phil gets too much stick. That said, he gives me heart palpitations and I want Koulibaly as the starting LCB this season.
You understand how twitter works, right? He didn’t post this...
I'm sure he knows about it! I'd tell them don't post my face any fecking where! If he had some sense.
I've never quite hated a United team so much like this one.
Surely this was just to get some decent money for him this season. We can’t actually want this guy for 4 more years?
He’s absolute dogshit. A complete brainless donkey with the footballing level and intelligence of a bottom half defender. Some aspects of his game are championship level.
The barber/stylist is getting publicity by cutting Jones hair... Jones is being nice letting him use his photo... Don’t be such a hater.
These are real people. They shouldn’t have to go into hiding because fans of their teams take a game so seriously.
And no, I’m not saying the sport isn’t serious - these guys are making a living better than 99% of the world playing it. But I am saying people like you take it too serious sometimes.
He's obviously not on big wages but that misses the point. At a club like United, if you haven't maintained a certain standard for a considerable period of time, you should be sold on principle. Let's see how long Mariano stays at Madrid even though he's on peanuts. Or what's the name of that striker they have with funny hair? If you keep getting your contract renewed despite being shit for long periods, it sends a bad message, regardless of how much you earn.
This was clearly posted by an ambitious barber who had someone semi-famous in his chair. Phil Jones is just doing a local business a favour... which isn't a bad thing lads.
Years ago Jones overtook me in true boy racer fashion.. cant remember the exact car he was in but it was a true footballer / expensive sports car. Needlessly aggressive.
At the time I thought what a complete wanker he was. Nothing has changed my mind.
Him being at United sums up the quality of out squad.

Don't you think you're slightly overreacting here?
Jones and Smalling are simply devoid of the requisite talent on the ball to be CBs for Manchester United. Smalling at least brings a physical element defensively that makes him useful as a squad player, particularly against opposition that play more direct with a physical presence. Jones doesn't even provide that.
Sure, he'll have 2-3 match stretches where you can see why he was rated so highly as a young player, but then he'll do something braindead or get hurt for an extended period. He also no longer provides any pressure relieg by carrying the ball out from the back, something he was renowned for when he first popped up on the scene at Blackburn.
If we can get rid this summer I'd be very pleased to do so.
