3 Manchester United players who will be key against Bayern Munich

Manchester United v Sunderland - Capital One Cup Semi-Final: Second Leg

Phil Jones

A commanding performance at the heart of United’s defence against Bayern could be the making of Jones.

After having struggled to hold down a regular role in the side since his move from Blackburn in 2011, Jones has been trusted as their first choice centre-back in the last few games, mainly due to injuries and suspensions. He is often too rash in the tackle, meaning he can get caught out positionally at times but he will have to be on top form in this first leg.
