Manchester United: Phil Jones' performance against Wolves praised by Rio Ferdinand and fans

Phil Jones' comeback performance for Manchester United in their limp defeat by Wolves last night has been hailed by Rio Ferdinand, and on social media.

Centre back Jones was handed a surprise start for the clash at Old Trafford, his first first-team appearance in almost two years, but delivered an assured display.

Boss Ralf Rangnick ultimately suffered his first loss in charge, however, after Joao Moutinho steered a low shot into the far corner late on to stun the struggling hosts.
