Phil Jones Returns to the Starting XI as Manchester United Beat Manchester City to Win the FA Cup | #ManchesterUnited #FACup #PhilJones #ErikTenHag #CristianoRonaldo
Manchester United defeated Manchester City 3-1 in the FA Cup Final on Saturday, with Phil Jones making his first start for the club since January 2020.
Jones, who has been plagued by injuries in recent years, was given the nod by manager Erik ten Hag in the biggest game of the season. The 29-year-old defender put in a solid performance, helping to keep a clean sheet as United won their first silverware of the season.
The other goalscorers for United were Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo, who both scored penalties. City pulled a goal back through Jack Grealish, but it was not enough to prevent United from lifting the trophy.
The victory was a major boost for United, who have struggled for consistency this season. Ten Hag's side have now won three of their last four games, and they will be hoping to build on this momentum in the Premier League run-in.
