Roy Keane has shared a typically brutal and honest assessment on Phil Jones after Manchester United recalled the rarely-used defender at Anfield tonight. Jones was one of four alterations to the United starting XI as Ralf Rangnick opted for a back-five against bitter rivals Liverpool.
Missing five players through injury and Cristiano Ronaldo due to personal reasons, United named Jones in their side for only the second time this season. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Nemanja Matic and Marcus Rashford also came in as Alex Telles, summer signing Jadon Sancho and Jesse Lingard were withdrawn to the substitutes bench.
It was an eye-catching selection from Rangnick, who was clearly aware of the immense attacking threat Liverpool pose through Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and the others. United also suffered a humiliating 5-0 reverse when the teams met in the corresponding Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
