What the feck? You do realise he was on average on at least 100k a week in last ten years here, and he did feck all in that time, who would complain about that,
He isn't supposed to complain, he drives a fecking Lamborghini Urus and plays about 20 games a season, in a team that is underperforming for years anyway. Everywhere else he would a goner long time ago, and yet you dare to say that he gets a testimonial.
Phil Jones has: 27 International matches for England. 233 matches for Manchester United (All club stages, including reserves and U21). He has 163 Premier League appearances for the club between 11/12 and 18/19. He only lost his squad position this year. On that note there is every chance he can fully reclaim any form he had, he's only 28 despite having been here forever. Phil Jones has on top of everything won the Premier League as a regular starter, the Europa League and FA cup.
I think you misundertand what the testimonial is about. It's a charity event where the ticketsales are donated to a charity of the players choosing. It does also serve as a celebration of the players career, a chance for him to say goodbye to the loyal home crowd, but primarily it's a charity drive.
Thing is, it doesn't matter what you might feel about it. If Phil Jones is at the club by June 2021, he is eligible to have a Manchester United testimonial after having been at the club for a full decade. Testimonials are for players with a especially long club career, something Phil Jones absolutely has had.
But hey, no need to worry. He already knows that grown men can't be trusted to behave like adults, so he already turned the offer of a testimonial from the club down last year, since he was certain that no one would show up besides his parents. Imagine that, giving your best career years to the most passionate football fans in England, and not feeling like you are worthy of a charity game after a decade at the club.
There is a lot of warranted criticism for Jones' footballing contributions the past years, but you can also feel free to take into account the presence in the player group, and in that regard he has never opened his mouth and complained about a thing. I'm surprised that isnt appreciated, considering just how mental this place went when Pogba dared to say "Maybe its time for a new challenge".
Either way, Phil Jones has been a Manchester United regular for nearly 10 years straight. He's achieved more as a player than most ever will.
I'm sorry if this opinion somehow offends you.
