Man Utd boss Rangnick praises Jones performance against Wolves

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick reserved praise for centre-back Phil Jones.

The veteran had not featured for United since January 2020, before starting in their 0-1 home defeat to Wolves in the Premier League on Monday.

Despite United not getting anything from the game, Jones put in an accomplished display next to Frenchman Raphael Varane.

Post-game, interim boss Rangnick told the BBC: "There was no doubt at all regarding his attitude because I saw him training.

"If you consider hasn't played in two years it was a very good performance."
