Manchester United defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085, as he believes the media is being unfair towards the defender.
Evans was part of the United squad that took on Liverpool this past weekend and Ferdinand feels that the defender played exceptionally well in the game.
However, the media has gone on to constantly blast the defender and his performances, while labelling the other defenders at the club to be far better than Evans.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international, when talking about his defensive partner and his performance during the game against Liverpool is quoted to have said: "Jonny was fantastic"
"A lot of the stuff that has been said about Jonny is way off the mark.”
"He is appreciated by everyone in the squad."
During the highly contested game between United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, Evans went on to produce a very solid display at the back.
The defender went on to mark players brilliantly and went on to make a number of crucial interceptions and tackles.
Evans’s performance during the game was far better than the ones he has been producing all season long and should the defender maintain this form, he could break into the starting eleven on a regular basis.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson is constantly looking to find a replacement for the defender, until he is fit again.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 still being quite inexperienced, the manager is bound to opt to use Evans, should he continue to impress every time he is on the pitch.
Following his admiration for Evans, Ferdinand went on to highlight the importance of Wayne Rooney’s goals, as he added: "Wayne is a Liverpool lad and an Evertonian"
"To score against not only our rivals but those of his boyhood team, it must have gone down well for him."
United dominated the game against Liverpool and the Reds now need to change their tactics, or they could end up seeing out another season without European football.
On the other hand, if United keep performing in the same manner, they could easily overcome the two point deficit at the top of the table and claim the number one spot in the league, on a permanent basis.
