Louis van Gaal’s tactics at Man United were something else… Phil Jones explains how he ended up getting put on corners! 😂
🗣️ “At the end of a training session, Wayne [Rooney] has gone in for a massage. We were getting ready to play QPR, and our strikers were getting the timing right for attacking balls from corners and free kicks.
I’ve said, ‘go on, I’ll go out and take some. I’ll whip some in, why not?’ And I’m telling you now, every single one I took was on the money. Every single one!
Van Gaal has turned round and shouted: ‘Jones! Can you take them?’ and claps, and the next day I was on corner duties.
The funny thing was, on game day, I’m running over to go take the corners, and I can see all the QPR fans chuckling; they’re laughing at me. Then I had to put my hands up as well. Honestly!”
