"There's so many United legends, it's hard to favour anyone, but if I have to choose only three, it has to be Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, and Phil Jones."
-José Mourinho
"He is simply a genius, he would fit into my football philosophy."
- Pep Guardiola
"Phil Jones signed a contract until 2023? I'm not surprised, he is key for United if they want to reach the Champions League finals."
- Paul Scholes
"I'm lucky Phil Jones is from another generation. If I came up against him in the World Cup of 1970, who knows what would have happened?"
-Pelé
