Evans assured of a great future by Ferguson

September 27, 2008

Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has assured central defender Jonny Evans that he has got a great future at the club.

Ferguson said that the only thing required from him at this time is a constant learning attitude and patience.

20-year old Evans was spotted while playing for Greenisland FC by Man U scouts, and was admitted into their world famous academy from where he rose through the ranks.

Evans played a great game against Villarreal and then against Chelsea last week, but is now likely to be back on the sidelines as Nemanja Vidic is back from suspension and Ferguson is expected to go with a Vidic-Ferdinand paired central defense.

Ferguson gave his assurances to the youngster saying that the club had a difficult time denying his transfer to many clubs this transfer window. This clearly shows how much Devils are interested in keeping him.

Evans had impressive loan spells at Royal Antwerp, Manchester United’s feeder club and at Sunderland.
He is presently a part of the Northern Ireland national soccer team having played 11 matches for his country.

Evans and Manchester United teammate Danny Simpson, also at loan, were an integral part of the Sunderland side that won promotion to the Premiership at the end of the 2006-07 season.

When Sunderland manager Roy Keane showed interest in retaining his services, Evans denied for trying to push into United’s first team.

On being asked, the center back said that there are a host of good players at United. He feels that it is a great experience to be playing and learning besides players like Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand and Vidic.
