I must say I was pretty salty when Arsenal missed out on Jones back in the day as he looked an amazing prospect. It's a bit sad that it's more of a 'bullet dodged' feeling now, due to nothing but the amount of injuries he just keeps on suffering from.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

How salty are you now? noodlehair can test you if you like.
I'm going to have to kindly pass on that very tempting offer.
He is an utter joke. Never progressed as a player in years (i'd argue he has even gone backwards) and never fit. Stolen a wage here for far too long.
He needs to be shipped off. Useless.
Imagine if when he finally comes back, his physical attributes have deserted him and he's left with only his technical ability.
Only Phil Jones can get injured while being injured. He's pathetic.
Jones gets so much shit these days. Hardly his fault that his career has been decimated by injury.
Gutted for him.
Gutted for him.
He is not worth keeping any more. I know it cannot be entirely his fault but he is pretty useless right now.
Then who's fault? We have the most expensive medical facility in the premiership so I doubt it's something the club are doing.
Seriously?
Owning an MRI machine does not mean your players stop getting injured.
Injuries happen, Phil Jones is just fecking cursed.
Maybe we can loan him to Bournemouth and he can be their new "best ever signing"
So you think a £25m medical facility with over £13m worth of equipment equates to one MRI scanner?
There is technology in there which aims to prevent injuries before they happen by monitoring muscle and tissue. My point is Phil is a bit thick. I'm not having it that it isn't mostly his fault through the things he must be doing. None of our other players have had the injury record he has and they train on the same pitches with mostly the same players and coaches. I just get the image that he goes in to tackles he shouldn't and brings it on himself. It is no coincidence our injuries throughout the team lessen when Jones is injured himself. I've read reports over the years of our players getting taken out by Phil.
Yes. Nobody has ever got hurt or sick since we started to build hospitals. It must be all Jones's fault he gets hurt.
How has a thread on his performances this season reached 6 pages?
performances on the treatment table I think.....
Hope he gets back into the team only if its to see one of his lung busting charges through the middle. Can imagine all fans will be shouting "run forest, run" now he has leg braces.
Mostly not people who get paid a shit tonne of money to stay fit. Stealing a living that guy.
I still, somehow, believe in the talented Phil Jones. Once a future United Legend per SAF.
Avoiding injuries is also a talent. He doesn't have that talent.
I'm certainly not mad at a guy, made of glass, who has shown he'll literally stick his face in front of a swinging foot to block a shot.

We need this man back badly. Opposition players have absolute no respect for our defense. Jones would send them to the showers with a concussion at least.
No. No matter how bad it gets, we never need Jones back!
Looked like the Best CB in Europe today.
When is he back?
When is he back?
Imagine the state of us. We need him back..
We need to get rid of him and get an experienced head in.
He gives us a false impression of squad depth, when in fact he's just occupying a squad number without offering anything.
Owen Hargreaves Mk II.

He was still very good at the start of LVG's rein, but the guy just cant stay fit.
Yeah, if there's one thing this defensive clusterfeckery needs it's more Phil Jones.
Training today.
Injured tomorrow.

So sad to see another promising career blighted by injury.
Good chance of some game time tonight then with Smalling and Bailly both out
Wrong competition
I genuinely hope he can get a run of games and stay fit.
We need to give him all the horse placenta in the world.

whoops, I mean ThursdayWrong competition
still breathing
I'm glad to see him back. But feck me when was the last time he played? It's a big ask to go right into the team like this
Can't be properly match fit, let's hope it goes well for him.
Not his fault that he is always injured, but he is not even that good to be honest.
Perhaps he can step up today and prove me wrong.

Swansea 1:3 Man Utd
Perfect return game for jones. Not under any major pressure but being able to pass it a bit with a couple of good headed clearances
And he gets two weeks to recover
Am I being naive to still have hope for him?
