One Man United footballer might outlast both Ronaldo and Glazers - it's not De Gea

It's 2023 and Phil Jones is still a Manchester United player with the option to extend his contract for another year.

The centre-back has been on our books since forever (we're exaggerating, of course). And although his deal expires in the summer, we bet he won't just leave.

Despite being the only outfield player on our side to have won a Premier League medal with United, Jones won't find many takers.

He's been out of action for almost two years now, falling out of favour under managers and recovering from knee surgery.

In a hilarious thread on fan forum RedCafe, supporters discussed the miracle that is Jones. Take a look.

💬 CantonaManc: "Phil Jones has outlasted Ronaldo and the Glazers."

💬 horsechoker: "There should be a statue of Phil Jones outside Old Trafford."

💬 Jacob: "Incredible how he's been able to collect top-level salary in a prestigious club for so long without actually doing much. Netflix should do a docuseries on him."

💬 AmolBhatia: "Phil Jones will probably outlast the club itself."

💬 Crackers: "Phil Jones is the Jar Jar Binks of the club (síth conspiracy and all)."

💬 Foxbatt: "He sure is a legend at United. No one will forget him. And no one will remember him actually playing on the pitch for United too."
