Manchester United defender Phil Jones, apparently found himself free when the ball was played into the box. He sensed the opportunity to go for an extra-ordinary bicycle kick instead of an ordinary header. But it looked extra-ordinary only until the ball had left the foot. Unfortunately for him, Phil Jones’ overhead attempt was blocked by his own hand. The referee, signalling a handball, awarded a free kick to the opposition. Jones’s attempt for glory turned out rather amusing as Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was also seen smiling after the defender’s attempt. Manchester United faced Norwegian side Kristiansund in their fifth pre-season friendly encounter and maintained their perfect record so far in the pre-season. The match also saw United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s son Noah make his debut for the Norwegian club. Manchester United will face AC Milan next in another pre-season friendly which will be played at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, 3rd August. Though Manchester United managed to win the match by virtue of Juan Mata’s injury time free kick, the match is being talked about more for Phil Jones’ failed attempt for the bicycle kick. On June 13, 2011, Manchester United confirmed the signing of a 19 year old Jones, who had impressed Sir Alex Ferguson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Ferguson]. The legendary United manager had predicted that Jones could become one of the most famous stars at Old Trafford. But this is not what he had meant by famous. Jones is many times recalled rather hilariously for his funny expressions and slip ups. This incident only gave an excuse for social media to get at the Manchester United defender, and twitter exploded with some hilarious tweets referring to him. “You can always rely on Phil Jones for a bit of comedy,” a tweet read while a few other tweets further went on to mock Phil Jones. “Every time Phil Jones plays, Leicester add 10m to Maguire’s fees,” tweeted a fan in reference to United’s unending pursuit of Harry Maguire.

<strong><em>Manchester United</em></strong>

<strong>Brief History</strong>

Manchester United is regarded as one of the oldest football clubs in the Premier League. The team was formed in 1878, but under the name?Newton Heath LYR Football Club. It was only in 1902 that it was officially named Manchester United.

The Red Devils are arguably the most successful team in the Premier League. This was even back when the League was known as the Football League.

From 1945 onward, after the second World War, it was also the beginning of one of the greatest eras of Manchester United. In other words, it was the era of the 'Busby Babes'. However, in 1958, the rampant Busby Babes were halted in their tracks, by the Munich Air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight players. However, Matt Busby managed to rebuild the team once again.

Then, from 1986 to 2013, the next great Manchester United era began. Namely, the Sir Alex Ferguson era, where the Red Devils were dominant. Although they had a sluggish start, they came into their own in the 1990s.

Currently, after going through a few managers like David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Finally, the team has settled with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Phil Jones English defender, Phil Jones kick-started his football career with Blackburn Rovers in their youth team in 2002. After garnering experience with the youth team, he finally broke into the senior team in 2009. In his debut match, he helped the team in a 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest. Also in his Premier League debut against Chelsea, he was instrumental in a 1-1 draw. In the following year, he was slotted into the defensive midfielder role, but he adapted well. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury in his knee which nearly put him out for the season. Then, in 2010-11, Phil Jones caught the eye of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. He?was apparently impressed with Jones&#8217; commitment and leadership skills at centre-back. This was especially when Blackburn held United to a 1?1 draw when the latter clinched the 2010?11 title. Finally, in 2011, Manchester United confirmed that they reached an agreement to sign Jones. The Englishman went on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee which was rumoured to be ?16.5?million Since then, he has remained with United and has not looked back since. Finally, in?2019, he signed a new contract until 2023. On-pitch?Achievements Phil Jones has helped Manchester United win the Premier League Championship in 2012-13.
