A PORTRAIT OF PHIL JONES ENDING UP In THE LOUVRE

Phil Jones has done many things, some of them good, but he’s never played a club game in Paris – until now. Imagine the reaction of French artists, needing inspiration, when they see the Manchester defender do his thing against PSG, his thing most recently being a friction burn to his face from the Old Trafford pitch. Jones’ exquisite gurning belongs in the National Portrait Gallery, but the Louvre in Paris may beat them to it after he pulls his unique facial contortions at Kylian Mbappe sprinting past.
