Evans to get chance next season
05/06/2007 10:55, Report by Ben Hibbs
Evans to get United chanceHighly-rated young Reds defender Jonny Evans will be back at Old Trafford next season attempting to earn his stripes in the United first team. After impressing on loan with Royal Antwerp in the first half of the 2006/07 campaign, Belfast-born Jonny was handed his Northern Ireland debut and then helped Roy Keane's Sunderland side reach the Premiership. Keane was hopeful of retaining the 19-year-old's services for his first season in the top-flight, but Sir Alex has made it clear that Evans has done enough to prove he is capable of pushing for first-team experience. "The manager has made it clear that I won't be going out on loan again," Evans told the Belfast Telegraph. "I'll be back at United and we'll see what happens. I'll be involved in pre-season and he has more or less said that I will get games." Although Evans was willing to return to Sunderland next season and gain experience at the Stadium of Light, as a life-long Red he is understandably delighted to get his shot at his childhood dream. "I want to play for Manchester United," he added. "I am a Manchester United fan and it has been my aim since I signed for the club to get into the first team. The incentive is there for me now and I want to be good enough to be playing for United." Pleased about this. Hopefully Pique and Rossi will be back too. |

Good good.
The boy's done well so he deserves to part of the set up next year. He'll have a job dislodging Vidic and then Brown, but time is on his side and it's all part of the challenge of healthy competition. Signings are exciting, but nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing a youngster come through and develop. (insert own joke about my satisfaction) |

I guess Silvestre will follow Heinze out the door if this is to be the case. Ferdinand, Vidic, Brown, O'Shea, Evans and Pique would be decent central defensive options for next season.
Can't help thinking that either Evans or Pique will spend another year on loan somewhere, though. |

With Vidic and Rio as first choice and Brown starting off as next in line, it's hard to see both Pique and Evans getting enough first team football to make it worth at this moment. I reckon another year at Sunderland would do Evans good. |

We're apparently selling two defenders and we're not signing cover for Gary (that'll be down to Wes and OH). I see no reason why Evans and Pique can't get enough games next season.
Sweep out some of the deadwood I say and start giving the youngsters a chance. Otherwise they'll leave. |
