Phil Jones comments come back to haunt Sir Alex Ferguson as Liverpool get last laugh after being mocked for signings

Phil Jones' Manchester United career is almost officially over. The Red Devils confirmed on Friday that the England international will leave Old Trafford at the end of his contract this summer, having made 229 over the past 12 seasons.

In truth, his exit is no surprise. The 31-year-old hasn't made a single appearance under Erik ten Hag this season, with his last four years being riddled by injury. He has made 13 appearances across the past four years, with his final start for United coming when he was surprisingly selected at Anfield as Liverpool ran out emphatic 4-0 winners over their fierce rivals last April.

Following confirmation of his departure, Jones published an emotional letter to Manchester United fans as he shared what it has meant to him to join the club and play for the Red Devils.
