Man United's Phil Jones: We're 'to blame' for not closing gap on top four

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has said the team "only have ourselves to blame" after failing to put pressure on the clubs above them in the Premier League.

Sixth-placed United could only manage a 0-0 draw at home against Hull City on Wednesday, leaving themselves four points adrift of Liverpool and Manchester City -- and also five points behind Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Leaders Chelsea appear way out of sight for Jose Mourinho's men, with a 14-point lead over United.

Although Mourinho chose to draw attention to the officials rather than his team after the game, Jones focused on the players' own shortcomings.
