Rangnick Humiliated Me At Man United –Jones

Ex-Manchester United defender Phil Jones has disclosed that he was humiliated by former manager Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford.

In a chat with Dailymail, Jones stated that he was humiliated in front of an Anfield crowd, the fans, his family and the players.

“I’ve never lost my head in a dressing room and I’ve never been emotional enough to lose myself in the dressing room, and I think that’s the only time in my career that I completely lost it,” he said on the High Performance Podcast.

“I was absolutely raging. Raging. That he humiliated me. Humiliated me in front of an Anfield crowd first and foremost, fearsome rivals, and the fans and my family and the players.

“We were 2-0 down at half-time, weren’t great, I don’t think we had a shot on target first half. Nothing was coming off. And I’d actually done alright in the game.

“Considering where I’d been, what I’d been going through, knee and injury-wise. I’ll look back at the game and I’ll highlight anything, I didn’t give the ball away, I was calm under pressure.

“I’m not saying I was exceptional but I definitely didn’t deserve to come off at half-time. There were far worse players on the pitch that day, I was the easy one to come off. You’re an easy scapegoat.

“At half-time I remember Ralf came in and said ‘I’m going to make a change, Phil’s going to come off’.

“I remember the whole dressing room went like (eyes open) as if to say, ‘is he bringing Phil off here? ‘ I took my boots off and I slammed them on the floor and I said, ‘You’re taking the **** out of me’.

“Everyone said, ‘calm down, calm down’. I get irate now, it really got to me.”
