5 reasons why Manchester United will turn around their 2016/17 season this week

Rejuvenated Jones

The England international, 24, has starred and featured in all 90 minutes of Manchester United’s last five Premier League outings, in which the Red Devils have remained undefeated – two wins and three wins.

Jones, whose 2016/17 campaign has been hampered by a knee injury, has slotted into manager Jose Mourinho’s unsettled back four with impressive ease and sublime form, conceding four goals in those five fixtures.

With fellow key centre-backs Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly sidelined through injury, Jones has really stepped up to the plate and delivered some inspiring performances, keeping in-form Premier League hitman Harry Kane thoroughly at bay at Old Trafford yesterday.

On this evidence; if the defender can continue his fine form, his important stature at club level will transfer onto the international stage with England next year.
