@ the comments sectionWhat have you done Woody?
May go down as the greatest ever to play for this club
Let the shitstorm commence...
Have mercy....
That really didn´t sit well did it?
They must want to cash in on him this summer, can´t believe he is here to stay.
Hmmm, not too sure what to make of this. It's clear he's an injury prone player who is always going to succumb to a couple of injuries a season and thus never be a mainstay in the defence. I think he's OK as a back up personally, but it's clear the defence is where we need to recruit in the summer.
Nothing wrong with signing a long contract but only if it's at the right wage that means he can be sold if the club want to. He's surely a fourth choice CB who should be replaced by a youth player coming through.
Seriously what is wrong with woodward??
Also it could just be to do with our homegrown qouta, where does that currently sit?
Bloody hell. When you know that shit will happen but you still think that it will not....
Awful decision. Especially in the way that now we have Phil and Mike with 2 long term contracts, Lindelof is first option, Bailly is playing better and better. I have a bad feeling that we will not buy new defender this summer.

Laughter of sorrow.
You just gotta be fkin kidding me…
I don't think its a bad call. Home grown English center back approaching his prime years and happy with a squad role.
Good luck to him
Brilliant news.
If Woodward questions why we are no longer a big club,here's your answer along with other renewals.
Take this to the bank......
We'll spend about £80m this summer. The board will say the whole squad deserves a chance of a full campaign under "Ole's positivity".

People really need to stop hating our players, it's embarrassing.
Jones is one of the only remaining squad players who has a PL to his name, along with other trophies.

The closest player to Duncan Edwards..
Get in! Great signing Ole!
Get in! Great signing Ole!
So does Antonio Valencia. I don't support hating players but that's a nonsensical argument.
Best defender in the league, great we've managed to keep him.
Ah feck sake
This is becoming a joke now. 4+1, fecking shit.
Can't believe that. Shambolic decision. Watch him get injured now for 6 months.
I will pretend that he is not playing. He will be number 4 player for me. Denial is good sometimes
Let's not pretend that PL was anything to do with him though.
I can only hope this is the club locking in some transfer value.
Solskjaer on Jones' new deal
Here’s what Solskjaer has said about Jones’ new deal :
“Phil knows what it takes to be a Manchester United player, he has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League and is now one of the senior players within the team.
“He is coming up to his 27th birthday and entering into his prime years as a centre half. We are delighted Phil has committed his future to the club.”

Oh jebus. Hysterics, step forward!
How far is he from a testimonial?
Martial extends contract and we sell Fellaini for a decent price... and then this I guess you can't have it all.
I am afraid this could mean that we are not looking for a new centerback. Lindelof and Smalling will obviously stay, and I also feel Bailly has a lot more to show, so when retaining Jones there is not a lot of room left in the squad for centerbacks.

Jones is 26 and is far from the tail end of his career. He's a solid squad option.
What the actual feck?
I was just beginning to like Woody again.

Why though? Watch us regret this and then struggle to sell him due to his wages.
C'mon Ole.
This will not end well
I believe/hope this has more to do with protecting an asset and hopefully transfer in the summer.
Only person speaking sense.
Shite. Ok if we are desperate I suppose.
She cannae take the strain..
