Martin Keown identifies Ole Gunnar Solskjaer mistake in Manchester United’s draw

Martin Keown claims, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a huge error by starting Phil Jones in a back three during their 3-3 draw at Sheffield United. Oliver McBurnie’s 90th-minute goal gave Sheffield United a 3-3 draw in a magnificent game against Manchester United at Bramall Lane. The Blades dominated the first half. They led 2-0 but Manchester United responded and took the lead with three goals in seven second-half minutes. However, McBurnie had the final say late on when he finished from close range. "Remember what Sir Alex Ferguson said about Phil Jones in 2013? 'The way he is looking, he could be our best-ever player,' the then Manchester United manager said of Jones, who was 21," wrote Keown in the Daily Mail . "Fast forward six years and he is getting hooked at half-time by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. His career has certainly not gone the way Ferguson hoped. Had the Scot been in charge on Sunday, you wonder whether he would have hauled him off after 15 minutes. Jones always looked problematic in that backline, then he was at fault for the opening goal. Instead of pumping the ball into row Z — like he should have done — he allowed Lys Mousset to take it off him. "No defender should let that happen or even take the chance. Maybe there was a hint of a foul, but Jones needed to be more dominant, more assertive, more clever. I'm surprised Solskjaer opted for three at the back in the first place. Maybe he wanted to match up with the hosts, but it only created confusion. The man he shoehorned into the team made a mistake and it left United chasing the game. I saw a different side in the second half and the kids salvaged something for Solskjaer." Source- The Mirror
