Manchester United vs Bournemouth, 5 Key Talking Points

Phil Jones bullies Callum Wilson off the ball

As good as it was to see Luke Shaw return to the playing XI at United, it was the return of Phil Jones that could arguably have a greater impact on their season... and maybe even England's chances in Russia.

He picked up where he'd left off before his injury lay-off, intercepting balls, putting in his trademark blood-and-thunder tackles, and generally walking around being the best defender on the park. He may never live up to the hype that Sir Alex Ferguson gave him when he was signed by United, but if he can (and this is a big IF) keep himself fit, there are very defenders in the league who can claim to be better than him.
