Phil Jones Reflects on Manchester United Career

Phil Jones, the former Manchester United defender, has opened up about the struggles that marked the end of his career. Injuries limited him to just 13 appearances in his last four years at the club, and he described his final training session under Erik ten Hag, where he realized he could no longer play due to persistent knee pain (Daily Mail). Jones also shared a particularly humiliating experience during Ralf Rangnick's interim management. He was substituted at half-time during a match against Liverpool, which led to an emotional outburst in the dressing room—an incident he never experienced before in his career (Mirror, Daily Star, Metro). Despite his achievements, including winning the Premier League and FA Cup, Jones' career was marred by injuries and moments of frustration (Mirror, Metro).
