Phil Jones suffers friction burn on his FOREHEAD after faceplanting on the Old Trafford turf

Phil Jones added another remarkable incident to his impressive collection of on-field calamities after suffering a friction burn in Manchester United's 2-0 FA Cup win over Reading.

The defender received the injury to his forehead when challenging the Royals' striker Danny Loader, which sent him crashing head-first into the turf.

A red mark and long gash were visible on Jones' forehead in the aftermath of the match as the Man United squad prepared to fly to Dubai for a warm weather camp.
