Manchester United's Phil Jones not getting complacent over title race

Phil Jones believes Manchester United have taken lessons from their Premier League heartbreak last season and will not repeat their mistakes.

Crazy

Jones says he and his team-mates are desperate to avoid a repeat of last season, when they thought they had secured the trophy only for City to score a late winner in their game against QPR to edge the prize on goal difference. He said: "It was crazy to be part of that final day. You went from high to low in the space of about 10 seconds. We thought we'd done it and then we hadn't. "But I think we've bounced back from that, got over it and started the season really well - albeit with a few hiccups here and there - and now we're in a strong position. It was a miserable afternoon, as you can imagine, but the manager just told us: 'Always remember this experience and don't let it happen again'. "You have to learn from it, even though it hurt at the time. It's a great lesson and a harsh learning curve, but all you can do is go out and try to win the next one. That's what the players at this club have always done and that's what we're trying to do this season. "We were very unfortunate to lose out on the league last season. We had to try to eradicate that feeling of disappointment in the recent derby and to a certain degree we did that, but that feeling will only fully be gone if we pick up the trophy at the end of the season."
