5 Manchester United players who will love working under Jose Mourinho

Phil Jones

Phil Jones has had a lot of fitness issues this season

Phil Jones has had terrible luck with injuries this season which has led to him making 13 appearances this season. Once considered to be among the most promising defenders in English football, Phil Jones has slowly faded away in the past two seasons under Van Gaal because of form and fitness issues.

Known for his physical power and build, Jones has been called a "jack of all trades" for his ability to play at right-back, at centre-back or as a defensive midfielder, Despite the suggestion that his best position is at centre-back, he often fills in at right-back. With his stocky build, opposition players have found it hard to bully Jones off the ball or out-muscle him.

Mourinho will be keen to get the best out of him and use him in in a way similar to how he used Branislav Ivanovic at Chelsea. Jones has all the ingredients to be a very good player and he will be relishing the opportunity to work under a defensive mastermind like Jose Mourinho.
