Phil Jones records Chinese New Year message for all his Asian fans…but everyone just takes the p*ss

Poor Phil Jones can't win on social media.

When he's not accidentally p*ssing off Man United fans by plastering his logo all over an image of the Busby Babes, he is mercilessly ripped apart for trying to grow his 'personal brand' via the internet. And so it proved again as the generally likeable if somewhat awkward defender tweeted out a video message to all his many fans of Asian extraction to wish them a happy Lunar New Year. https://twitter.com/PhilJones4/status/696718514762211328 As you can see, Jones' dulcet Prestonian tones are enhanced with the kind of background music you'd expect to hear on one of the 900 channels on your Sky box, and he is accompanied by a pair of cuddly pugs. This was more than enough ammo for internet p*sstakers, who were quick to mock the defender for his best efforts. People can be so cruel...and funny. https://twitter.com/olwinstanley/status/696757414566170624 https://twitter.com/Dragonblob00/status/696729242386722816 https://twitter.com/boozhead/status/696721406810263552 https://twitter.com/Avitaddis9/status/696719513358831616 https://twitter.com/GGMUFCSean/status/696719935645552641 https://twitter.com/TheMUFCView/status/696725799001579520 https://twitter.com/woodersworld/status/696752174085369856 https://twitter.com/whatrobdidnext/status/696734108609748992
