Wonder who takes the No 4 shirt?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Varane or Martinez you'd think
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No reason to take the number 6 off Martinez. Probably Varane although numbers 3 and 5 will hopefully be free soon too.

That Napoli CB

For me he'll be remembered most as the guy who made Alex Ferguson make the most laughable statement in the history of sport.

"He could go on to be Manchester United's greatest ever player"

I've got a feeling Bobby Charlton might have had something to do with that as I'm sure I once heard him compare Jones to Duncan Edwards, or at least his presence and running style. A lot can change when you're 19 I guess. Who knows, had Edwards survived, he might have finished his career as the next Phil Jones. What a thought that is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

How could Edwards have ended up being the next Phil Jones when he was born 56 years before him?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a joke about unfulfilled potential. The timeline is irrelevant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
it was Paddy Crerand who compared him to Edwards

So essentially Bobby's words via Paddy Crerand.
