Phil Jones missed the decisive spot-kick for Manchester United as they lost 8-7 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at home to Derby County in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night.
Visiting goalkeeper Scott Carson was the first to make a save after 15 successful strikes took the shoot-out into sudden death.
Frank Lampard’s Championship charges almost defeated his former manager’s side over 90 minutes before an added-time equaliser from Marouane Fellaini levelled things up.
These are the best of the jokes as Man Utd lose to Derby on penalties at Old Trafford:

His tactic for the penalties was genius: "Keep scoring them lads, until they are forced to bring up Phil Jones to take one".

Slightly annoyed Phil Jones missed as always wondered what happened when a man gets sent off and it's 10-10 on pens

‘I am disappointed because before the game I told Phil Jones, if it goes to penalties and you have to take the 8th one, don’t pea roll it into Scott Carson’s arms.’ Mourinho, probably.

Jose Mourinho just grabbed the microphone off the Sky Reporter and announced to the world that Phil Jones will never captain United again.
Strong leadership.#MUFC #MUNDER
