They didn’t work well together against Burnley last week.
Still think Bailly and Jones is our best partnership.

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.

Still think Bailly and Jones is our best partnership.
Apart from that mistake against Stoke he has been very consistent whenever he played this season. Glad for him to finally finding consistency and being fit for good periods this season.
Very good once again. Personally amazed by the amount of people who’d be willing to get shot of him on here. Organises the back line very well, reads the game very well, will put his body on the line for the team. Having a very good season thus far.
Delighted for him he’s managed to put a run of games together......Always thought he’s potential captain material and as a squad Utd are crying out for a leadership group/core to step up. 2/3 seasons time Jones (and Pogba) natural progression and maturity should have him at the very forefront of this.....provided he stays fit of course!
He was awful against Liverpool, and had to be subbed against Chelsea because he's a red card waiting to happen.
Doing well. Just hope he can stay fit. I like him, he can be rash but I think I he’s played most of his games with Smalling which can’t help.
I don't remember him being bad against Liverpool at all. We were defending mostly during second half anyway. We needed to sub him against Chelsea because we were losing and needed to attack.
Doesn't change the fact he was very consistent for us this season so far.
Just hope he can stay fit for the remaining season. He's the best centreback at the club, not Bailly (at least not yet)
Rested, I assume.
Man Utd 3:0 Stoke
saved a certain goal first half, as good as a strike. was excellent.
Massively important block indeed
Doesn't look half the player with Smalling that he does with our other centre backs. Great block today but I don't think that pairing works.
Good game from Jones, he brought the ball out really well tonight.
With Rojo he plays on the right and looks better on that side.
With Smalling he plays on the left it seems
cant remember which side he plays with Bailly (seem to think right too).
Was actually one of our best performers today. I honestly believe he's been one of the league's best defenders this season.

Arguably best CB this season?
I'm super happy how well he has done this season. He's becoming a real leader at the back. One of my favourite players in our squad.
If we are to go far in the UCL, Jones will be playing a crucial role, especially against stronger teams where Jose might be going defensive.

Isn't it quite obvious that he is our best defender, but his injury problems mean its difficult to plan with him for the future.
Jones is better than Smalling IMO. Just needs to stay fit.
Agreed, I've always been a fan.
Burnley 0:1 Man Utd
Playing well today, I think. Very intelligent with his reading of the game.
He's a very good defender. If only he wasn't made of glass.
Thought he was phenomenal, again.
MOTM. He's our best defender.
Great performance.
Fantastic today. This guy loves a clean sheet.
Arguably our player of the season so far.
MotM
Brilliant defender. Just stay fit.
Positioning and reading of the game was spot on today. Great performance.
Excellent game again. I think Jose sees him as his new John Terry. If only he can remain fit. Mind you Jose seems to be managing him far better than his predecessors. Reckon if he keeps this up he is a nailed on starter for Southgates England.
Our best CB, miles ahead of Smalling.
Clearly shown himself to be our best defender. Just stay fit you crazy fecker.
Best CB in the premiership.
What an excellent performance, I wish we could get a full season of those performances out of him without howlers & injuries. Is this the longest he has been injury free for?
Another great performance by Phil. He's our best CB this season and is one of the best in the league.
Man Mountain; maybe we should call PED Guardiola to see if his 'special' doctor can get rid of Jones' injury problems?
Solid performance. Didn’t put a foot wrong at all.
Quite possibly, but no doubt when next he is injured the fans will go back to pretending that he is Klavan level.
If his body had held up he would probably already be recognized as one of the top defenders in the game.
