Phil Jones was tipped for greatness by Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson after the centre-back was snapped up from Blackburn Rovers back in the summer of 2011.
The highly-rated defender had already won plenty of plaudits after breaking into the first-team fold at Ewood Park as a teenager. But two years after his blockbuster move to Old Trafford had materialised, Ferguson went one further by suggesting that Jones could even go on to become United's "best ever player".
Unfortunately, Ferguson's prediction has not aged well: now aged 31, Jones has started just two games in the last three years due to a long-term knee injury and has not featured at all under Erik ten Hag this season.
