Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones has recalled a rare weekend off at Old Trafford which went awry after a couple of pints - manager Jose Mourinho calling him into a game last minute
Phil Jones has revealed how a rare weekend off from Manchester United duties took an unexpected turn after a couple of drinks.
When asked: "What did he do? " Jones replied: "He just got me and he understood how to manage me. He partnered me up with Marcos Rojo, who was an absolute animal by the way - like animal, you would not want to meet him in the back street. I'm gonna quote this but I think it might be give or take. "We were playing Reading, and he text me that night and he said 'Well done today, go out for food tonight - take your wife out for dinner and have a few drinks. I don't need you at the weekend, see you Monday'. So I was like 'That's brilliant'. Jose Mourinho's text you and said that.
