He’s been an awful signing, we should have let him go years ago.

Injured again. Why did they renew his contract? It was the perfect way to get rid of him.
That can't be true, surely.
He is still quality when fit or at least was when we gave the new contract. Still silly to do if we had plans to buy Maguire.
Just watched the 2013 game at the bernabau he was v good. But this season he has been a liability and carrying too much weight, surprised he doesn't injure players during training
C’mon that just isn’t true. The last game of his I can remember was Sheffield United away where he was embarrassed twice by a Bournemouth reject. He’s been a back up for years that can’t step up when called upon.
He started well under Ole though when we won every game. That gave him the contract. This season he has been poor when played in the harder games. Although he has been a backup player with I think two league games.
Some part of Jones himself must be thinking it'd be better if he left United. It's not just the fans, he must be aware of his teammates questioning his contribution. How does he feel when he drives to Carrington and there are people there pitying him? It must hurt his pride.
I'm not 100% sure but i think i read a story on his injuries from year or two ago that said he'd never had the same injury twice. That may have changed though with his numerous injuries since that time.
He gives his all, but I'm just so sick of the sight of him. Even when he occasionally manages to keep the mistakes to minimum and hit a little bit of form you just know he'll injury himself within one or two games.
And he's injured so often you'd have to think some of these injuries might be similar to ones other players are carrying into games and just getting on with. Any professionals I've heard talking about this kind of thing usually say you're never 100%.

If he gets a testimonial, it will be the most embarrassing thing ever.
He seems a nice lad, and I don't wish him any ill, but he needs to go now. It has been a disaster since day one.

Conte and Inter have to be interested. Get on the phone to them tomorrow..
When you watch him play you can tell why he's so injury prone. He's a bit reckless (like Rafael) but he's a big guy and seems quite heavy footed.
His agent deserves an award for negotiating a new contract with us.
Such an absurd decision from this club. Even a pay as you play contract would have been generous.
He's had an impressive selection of injuries - but by now he's had so many in total that there's bound to be some repeats (e.g. hamstring).
Yeah in the last 18 months he's had 3 hamstring injuries according to transfermarkt. No idea if that was the same hamstring or both at different times.
But you're right he surely has the most impressive collection of injuries in modern football, he's missed games through shingles. And was once even slightly doubtful for a game because of a friction burn on his head
Does he really? With such incompetent twats that offer contract extensions I doubt.
Surely this has to be the biggest failed judgement Fergie made in his carerr? 
Bebe I’d saySurely this has to be the biggest failed judgement Fergie made in his carerr?
MoyesSurely this has to be the biggest failed judgement Fergie made in his carerr?
Damn, this hit me on a deep level. Feel sorry for the guy now
Interesting. I'm not sure Moyes was a bigger failed judgement than Fergie thinking Jones could be our best EVER player. Thats an audaciously shocking judgement of player.
Maguire has played 5412 minutes so far this season.
Why has he still got the number 4 shirt when he hardly plays?
Jones would have to stay at United for 20-30 years to rack up more minutes than Maguire will have done in the next 3-4 years.
Because we've barely seen that shirt number on the pitch in the last 10 years, I think Utd have forgotten we still have that number in the squad.
Yes, I'm long past anger now with Jones. Anger is best reserved for players who you still expect something from. Phil is now a pitiful joke unfortunately.
At the time he used to play so well for us. Once i saw a very old fan compare him to Duncan edwardsSurely this has to be the biggest failed judgement Fergie made in his carerr?
It all started going down under Moyes. For Jones and many others.
I agree that he was a much better player than what he is now. But at no point in his career with utd has he shown signs that he was threatening to be our "best player ever" at the club. We wouldn't have even said that about Rooney or Ronaldo in their early years. Especially considering we had the likes of George Best in our history.
Only 2 times in 9 years has he managed more than 30 games for us in all comps in a season. Those were in 11/12 and 13/14.
New contract in 2019.

Actually feel sorry for him. The amount of abuse he gets is shocking.
Don't give them any ideas.

The new contract was amazing.
Up there at Sanchez levels of money wasting

I hope he can turn his career around and get a starting place in a team similar to Jonny Evans.
It's best for him to move on and stay out of the limelight and work on his game and pray he stays fit.

He would have a chance of that but he can't stay fit. He's done and United will continue to pay him for more years because someone decided it was a good idea to sign him to a new contract
WTF is that? Why is a successful comedian posting videos ridiculing a random squad player like that? I understand United are always the target for such things, but what has Jones done to deserve such attention from someone like Mortimer? Slightly pathetic TBH.
That could explain it.
