Manchester United defender Phil Jones is hopeful that the side have turned a corner in their season and has challenged his team-mates to go on and win every game from now until the end of the season.
The Red Devils have had a very unflattering season during David Moyes’ first campaign, but two impressive away wins against Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion, could have seen them turn a new corner in their season.
Jones, who gave United the lead on Saturday at the Hawthorns, believes it’s time the side push on and fight as hard as they can to still achieve a top-four finish, and he believes it can be done if they win all their remaining games.
“Every game is massive for us now,” said Jones. “It’s got to be the mentality now for the rest of the season, there’s no two ways about it.
“Hopefully we’ve turned the corner but it’s game by game for now. The fans expect us to win every week and so do we, so it’s been difficult.
“I think the players and the staff have been surprised by how difficult this season has been. But when you pick up results like this it’s nice.”
The defender was also thankful to Moyes for playing him in his best position, centre-back, at the weekend.
He added in the Manchester Evening News: “It’s great. I enjoy playing at centre-half and, thankfully, I got the chance. It was nice to get the win and a clean sheet is a bonus.
“I enjoy playing with Chris. We haven’t played that many times together but the more we play, the better our understanding will be and the better our performances will be.”
