Manchester United boss Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has hailed the impact of in-form defender Jonny Evans, who has established himself as a regular alongside Rio Ferdinand at the back.
When Nemanja Vidic was carried off the field against Otelul Galati, the Red Devils knew that they had been struck by a blow which could potentially be a major stumbling block in their quest for silverware.
The Serbian was United’s skipper and talisman, who’s never-say-die attitude inspired all those around him. Furthermore, his reputation as the best centre-back in the world also made him an undisputed starter.
However with him gone, the reigning champions should have stuttered and conceded the title to Manchester City, but they haven’t done that. And it’s down to the outrageous turnaround in the career of one man – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085.
After churning out some below par displays last season, it seemed that Ferguson was going to let go of the Northern Irishman, just like he had done with Wes Brown and John O’ Shea. But the Scot kept faith in the youngster and Evans has surely repaid that
with a string of sensational performances in the last few months.
Such has been his form that many have labeled him as United’s player of the season and Fergie has backed up that claim, citing his partnership with Ferdinand as one of the main driving forces behind the club’s winning streak.
"Jonny came to us from Belfast when he was 12 or 13, always exceptionally talented but gangly with physical issues growing up.There is no doubt he has been helped playing alongside the experience of Rio and he is now arguably the best defender in the country,”
he said.
"I must admit my heart sank a little when I learned just how long http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 had become the cornerstone of our defence but Rio responded brilliantly, despite his back problem, and has now struck up a fine partnership
with Jonny Evans.”
With Evans and Ferdinand going strong at the back, United will go into their game with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 on the weekend full of confidence and with the aim of securing nothing other than the three points.
