He’s had his time there and quite frankly he’s another one of the, we call it deadwood

Craig Burley on Man Utd defender Phil Jones

Jesse Lingard

Burley: “There’s been one or two people who have been very critical of his off-field activities because when your off-field activities are in the public domain and are very in your face, then you have to be performing on the field and preferably at a team that are performing well.

“For all those reasons, he’s not. I’m not saying he’s a bad player, not saying he’s a bad lad, [but] I’m not keeping him. ”

Fred

Burley: “No, I’m not keeping [Fred]. He’s been so disappointing and in fact, £ 50 million or whatever it was, he’s played a bit recently and every time I see him I ‘ m like ‘I can get a youngster to get that job’.

“He’s been outshone by [Scott] McTominay, simple as that.”

Marcos Rojo [but]

Burley: “[Rojo’s] a ticking time bomb. Can’t trust him, can’t trust him at all and he’s a red card, disciplinarian headache waiting to happen. ”

Nemanja Matic

Burley : “[Matic’s] legs have gone, he was a desperation signing really at the time.

“I think that’s one of the reasons Chelsea were happy to get him out.”

(Phil Jones)

Burley: “[He’s] been there [atManchester United] too long, Phil Jones now. He’s had his time there and quite frankly he’s another one of the, we call it deadwood, you call it what you want. ”

(Ashley Young)

Burley: “Ashley Young, at the end of the day, you love him or hate him, bit of a Marmite character.

“He isn ’T a full-back and he’s a winger who’s been converted. He’s played a World Cup semi-final at left-back, so fair play to the guy.

“I’m not the biggest fan of him, I thought as a youngster he was a decent wide player.

“Ultimately I think he’s another one I think needs to go.”
