The injury-plagued star made 229 appearances for the Red Devils, but hardly featured in his latter years with the club due to injury. Jones suffered with persistent knee issues and played just five times in his final three years with United. Following Jones' exit, Amrabat has taken on the Red Devils' No4 shirt. And fans appear to be pretty happy about it. One wrote: "from Phil Jones to Amrabat. biggest upgrade ever." While a second tweeted: "From Phil Jones to Amrabat. The Ten Haag Effects." A third similarly commented: "The No4 shirt going from Phil Jones to Amrabat is a big upgrade." Another added: "Sofyan Amrabat. He takes the Legends Phil Jones' No.4." Jones' predecessor in United's No4 shirt was also injury prone. Owen Hargreaves was the Red Devils' No4 between 2007 and 2011. Like Jones, Hargreaves also only made five appearances in his final three years with United. Ironically, the Red Devils actually possess another player that has worn their No4 shirt. Jonny Evans was technically United's No4 during the 2006-07 season, although he spent the majority of the campaign out on loan. He later switched to No23 and then No6 - but has taken No35 this time around. 4 Jones was United's No4 for 12 years Credit: Getty){kind=link}
