Phil Jones may be one of the most divisive footballers of his generation.
Lauded as ‘better than’ John Terry by Sir Alex Ferguson, it would be fair to say the defender has not yet lived up to those lofty expectations.
Always willing to put his body on the line, Jones can often be seen in uncompromising positions in internet memes as he is (quite literally) willing to do anything to keep a clean sheet.
However, the England international is undoubtedly a natural centre-half as his frame and reading of the game are best suited to the middle of the defence.
Although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to have other ideas.
The Norwegian appears to have selected Jones at right-back for the crucial Champions League clash with Barcelona on Tuesday night.
