The Red Devils secured their first trophy in six years with a 2-0 victory at Wembley.
And Erik ten Hag even busted out some dance moves as United fans celebrated their latest win.
But there were even more reasons for supporters to be cheerful.
That’s after club icon Jones, 31, made an appearance as a pundit on Sky Sports.
The defender has made just 13 appearances in the last four seasons after suffering numerous knee injuries.
Jones’ last appearance for United came 10 months ago.
And the centre-back, who joined the club in 2011, delighted fans by declaring after the game: “This is a big mark to tell everyone that United are back.”
However, it appears Jones has his sights set on moving into punditry permanently.
HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON FOOTBALL
He said: “It’s been a long road, there’s no hiding from that – at times physically and mentally.
“I’m a strong character and I love playing football. I’m doing everything I can to get back on the pitch.
“When you’ve had all the issues and injury wise, it’s hard to deal with that.
“The club have been absolutely fantastic with me. I think I’ve had good support around me from family and friend.
“I’m grateful for that and I want to be back outside.”
