The Irish defender claims that he is ready to start as first-choice for the Red Devils after cementing his place in the line-up in the last few seasons.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 to establish themselves as first-choice starters.
With skipper Vidic suffering from long spells on the sidelines, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson chose to partner Ferdinand with Evans, something which has paid lucrative dividends for most of the calendar year.
Evans, who was once reported to be out of the club, has finally been able to win over his critics and has performed admirably throughout the season, which is a credit to his growing stature at the helm.
Ferguson sees him as a potential replacement when Ferdinand and Vidic eventually hang up their boots and recently gave him a contract extension that is set to keep him tied at the theatre of Dreams for the immediate future.
Nonetheless, the Ireland International is eager to continue his rejuvenated form and claims that he had now matured quite a bit after garnering a reputation for being a hot-head on the field.
“I really feel I am part of it. I don’t feel like I am a youngster any more who is filling in the gaps or getting the odd game here and there. I want to be competing for a place every week,” said the centre-back while talking to the media.
“As every game and season goes by I am improving. As long as I feel I am doing that, I feel like I can contribute to the team. It’s nice to get a new contract. It does give you extra security but the club could still decide to sell me in the summer if they
want! I don’t think it means an awful lot these days but I am delighted with it. It gives me the security I need,” Evans was quoted as saying while speaking to reporters.
United take on Swansea City today, with Evans expected to start despite Vidic’s cameo against Sunderland last week.
