Jones: Manchester United is back with a bang

Mourinho was sacked in December amid United’s poor run of form and reports of dressing room and unrest star midfielder Paul Pogba at the centre of discontent in Manchester. The mood and performances have improved at Old Trafford since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over in December, according to the centre-back.

United were outside of the Champions League places and reeling following a 3-1 Premier League loss to Liverpool but the club have gone 11 matches without defeat in all competitions since Solskjaer’s appointment as caretaker to climb to fourth in the table. Phil Jones said Manchester United were a “laughing stock” under Jose Mourinho this season, but the Red Devils are “now heading in the right direction” with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the helm.

After Saturday’s 3-0 victory over lowly Fulham, United loom as a legitimate threat in the Champions League ahead of tomorrow’s first-leg last 16 fixture at home to Paris Saint-Germain and centre-back Jones is feeling confident. “We might have been a bit of a laughing stock at the beginning of the season but we’re certainly not now. We’ve proven that in the last 10 or 12 games. We’re improving, we’re still getting better.

Jones said it was tough for everyone involved. The club, the supporters, everyone. But he says it’s about becoming stronger and seeing that through. “I’ve said it in the past, we’ve not achieved anything yet, we’re under no illusions but we’re heading in the right direction.” he added.
