Phil Jones: “Someone told me ‘Oh, it’s a shame about your career’. I said ‘I’ve been at Man United for 10 years & played 200+ games for them, won titles & played 2 WCs’. I’ve lived the dream. 99% of people would snap their right hand off now for their kids to come through & have the career I had”

Lad isn’t wrong, he didn’t all. Just a shame his body couldn’t keep up with the demands of top level football.
He looked good player when he was younger
I would be ashamed to say, I’ve won a premier league title by sitting on the bench.
Jesus there more retards on here than I thought 😂😂😂 from all the comments I’ve got.
Go ask Roy keane Rooney or carrack if they felt they would have won it. With a Phil jones career
What’s worse is the person who gave him a new deal.
I get what he means but he underestimates how much I value my right hand.
He’s technically right, of course. He was such a beast at Blackburn and early days at Man U though. Always a shame to see injuries kill a talented player because he did become a punchline by the end.
I honestly have no opinions on him as a player, but it did sound terrible what his body went through when he spoke about it a year or so ago??
That being said, [I always think of this when his name comes up. ](https://youtu.be/cFGdPVH65FI?si=62urx_M2wjsKvzu7)
I love how all the negatives that his career has had, he has found the positives. Such a great way to look back on his career.
I think both the person who told him that and Phil are both correct. It’s a shame injuries hampered his career, but he did have a hell of a career if you take the injuries out.
Anybody remember when united first signed him, from blackburn i think? He looked like a very exciting prospect, he carried the ball really well and was tough on defense.
I’d take his career as long as it doesn’t come with his face.
Broke my heart he felt he didn’t deserve a testimonial because no one would go except his mum. The abuse he got over one funny pic was so ridiculous it makes Ed Miliband look like he got it soft.
Will never forget watching him in his return vs Wolves and he was literally Man United’s best player that day despite his first game in like 2 years. He had a great career, blighted by injuries, and it wasn’t his fault. The way people abused him was so vicious and nasty. He’s right to give a big ‘fuck you’ to anyone sniping his career. He’s won more than all but like 50 Prem players.
