Phil Jones' first Premier League appearance of the season did not go as planned.
The centre-back started in Sunday's clash at Sheffield United as part of a three-man defence alongside Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof.
But the 27-year-old was caught out in the build up to the home side's opening goal just 20 minutes into the match as he was shrugged off easily by Lys Mousset before John Fleck's finish.
The England international's return to the United starting XI came as a surprise to many fans, as he had featured in just three games prior to Sunday's clash - two in the Europa League and one Carabao Cup appearance.
