Ed Woodward Appears To Tell Phil Jones To Shut Up As Man Utd Lose 2-0 To West Ham

Ed Woodward appeared to tell Phil Jones to shut up during Manchester United's 2-0 defeat to West Ham this afternoon.

United defender Jones was in the stands watching alongside Lee Grant at the London Stadium, sat behind United's executive vice chairman Woodward.

And when the camera panned to Woodward with West Ham 1-0 up, he appeared to not take too kindly to what Jones was saying and told him to be quiet.

Not too long after, the cameras were back on Woodward and both Jones and Grant were nowhere to be seen.

Andriy Yarmolenko put hosts West Ham up in the first half with a well-taken goal before Aaron Cresswell added gloss on the victory with a stunning free-kick into the top corner six minutes from time.

It leaves United five points adrift of cross-town rivals Manchester City and seven behind league leaders Liverpool. Furious fans even got #OleOut trending on Twitter following yet another dismal showing on the road for the Red Devils:
