Manchester United midfielder Phil Jones has been blasted by his former cleaners who claim the £20million player sacked them because they asked him for petrol money to help him move home.
Husband and wife team Nigel and Angela Stubbs requested £300 from the centre back, who earns around £80,000 a week, for fuel money after helping Jones and his fiancee Kayla Hall move into their new £5million mansion.
The couple, who are both 51, said they were sacked in November with just six hours' notice and are facing life on the dole after losing their jobs.
Mr Stubbs and his wife had a successful cleaning company and were hired by Jones to help tidy up his old house before he moved in following his transfer in 2011 from Blackburn Rovers.
