In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Anyone know why he wasn't in the squad yesterday?
Phil Jones' meteoric rise? Meteors don't rise, they fall.
He was in the stadium yesterday.......so probably rested.
Dropped apparently, caught wearing mittens!
Ya know, I never thought about that. But there's no 'up' in space, so it's about you're perspective.
There a joke in there somewhere, about journalists heads in space or something.
Just seen a vid of him on Facebook of him painting someones hair.
Yay!

Dont you love fans who think they know best? Now Andrew will be hoping that Jones gets an extended run in midfield
Getting the feeling he had a little wager going on with SAF.
Well deserved goal as he has come close several times before.
Had a few quid on him to score anytime @ 15.0 . Cheers Phil!

That's a gutsy bet. As he's never scored before, I'd think the odds would be much steeper than 1 in 15. That implies he scores around that rate, right?

I had him at 10/1 with betfair. where dya get that price?
About time and well done to him. He loves to get forward and hopefully this will give him the belief he will score plenty more goals.
Great goal he scored today, hope there's many more to come.
SAF looked delighted to see him score, maybe even moreso than usual. I might be reading too much into it, but to me that suggests that Phil is well-liked around the dressing room and by Fergie.
The wave between Jones and Fergie was almost like a kid going "look dad! I scored a goal!"

My first thought is they were happy Fergie's decision to play him in midfield had paid rewards. I also wonder if they'd worked in training on him making those late runs into the box and maybe they were acknowledging that. Or they're just bff.
It was because the lads had been teasing him about not scoring/scoring an O.G.
Sir Alex on Jones celebration: "We keep winding him up and keep saying: 'We paid £16million for you and we can't even get a shot off you!"

That's not true is it though? We've got shots off him, they just haven't found the opposition's net until today.
Phil Jones was like a boss too.
It should be but bookies being a shower of bastards mean odds are never reflective of the possibility of something happening.

Trendsetting like a mofo.

What did SAF say about his celebration? Anyone?
Think he said that Carrick is suspended against Basle.
No feckin way!
Fergie literally has to wind his neck in he's so proud, I think that's even more love than I've seen him have for Fletcher, aka Fergie's love child.
Methinks Fergie had another affair some 19 years ago.
I love him at RB, but I can also imagine him bossing a midfield. He's got a great engine and great size, he's almost wasted as a RB.
Now we just need to see him paired centrally with Cleverley, could be the future.
He's messin' with ya, running gag. Carrick's in.
Unibet. They have some good anytime prices, I also got on it early when the team news was announced (and we knew Jones was playing in midfield). It did drop after that to be fair.
I found the first second of Jones' celebration funny. There was the instant "OMGZZ I've just scored my first goal for United!" when he thrusts his arms in the air, then tries to pull it back and act a bit cooler.
Do you think we've found ourselves in the rare situation where Jones has almost made himself undroppable yet we don't know what position he'll be playing in? It's just important to have him on the pitch?
Phil Jones to become a United top scorer by the time he retires.
Lot's of comparisons to big Dunc Edwards being mentioned already.
Exciting time to be a United fan with Welbeck, Young, Cleverley etc...
EDIT - actually scratch that, it's always an exciting time to be a United fan.

I seriously doubt that.
These Big Dunc comparisons are annoying.
