Phil Jones does something wonderful for young fan that had his shirt stolen

What a hero.

Typically, at the final home fixture of the season, teams will do a lap of honour and applaud the fans. And ok, a sixth place finish for Manchester United might not be the biggest thing to celebrate (though there might a Europa League trophy to come) – but for one young United fan it seemed to be a special day. Mum Claire Woods’ son got Phil Jones’ shirt after their 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace today. What should have been a brilliant moment for him was ruined however, after an older kid kicked him and stole the shirt. Claire tweeted about the incident, with a photo of her distraught son. https://twitter.com/clairelw81/status/866339659130994693   But the story has a happy ending – Phil Jones himself saw the tweet, and replied. He told Claire to DM him, and he sort her son out with another shirt. https://twitter.com/PhilJones4/status/866347788086497282

@PhilJones4 @ManUtd That's amazing. Thank you. I've followed you. It'll make his day, he's still heartbroken about it.

  Well done, Phil.
