Twitter have apologised to Phil Jones and Manchester United after they sent a tweet out mocking the defender.
The official brand account for the social media site sent a post on Tuesday night which read "Name a better footballer than Phil Jones". The account has 58.2 million followers and a number of those followers questioned the tone of the post, which was clearly aimed at trolling the centre-back.
Jones has been on the receiving end of a lot of online abuse in the past and it is understood United were unhappy with the nature of the post.
