"It's a signal for the players that we believe in them" said Solkjær on the subject of Jones' new contract

Fully onboard with this choice! One of our longest serving players, British and a player who is okay with being part of a rotational system. Him and Ash - we need those kind of players going forward. They know what it takes to win trophies here. And hey - what if Jones and Ash are personalities that fit in at United better than most. A player can have all the best skills in the world, but at United you have to be a good player AND have the right mentality and personality. It´s not one or the other.

Besides, players with confidence who the manager shows great belief in can make a huge difference alone. Yes, he has had a few shaky moments in the last games, but do not forget that slip-ups are easier to remember than the rest of the performance. We´ve conceded 8(!) goals in the last 10 games! Four clean sheets! And Jones has been a major contributor to those stats! So please, stop with the nonsense and give the guy som credit instead!
