HISTORICAL FACTS: Phil jones picked for just second time this season as manchester united team confirmed - Caught on Camera

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has handed a shock start to Phil Jones as his side prepare to take on Liverpool at Anfield.

It is only the centre-back’s second league appearance of the season, having last started in a defeat to Wolves in January. His only other game this term came as a substitute in United ’s FA Cup exit to Middlesborough, a month later.

The 30-year-old is one of four changes from United’s recent win over Norwich, with Rangnick having opted for a surprise five-at-the -back formation. Jones is partnered alongside Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof at centre-back, while Diogo Dalot is at wingback with Aaron Wan-Bissaka replacing Alex Telles.
