The Argentine International is reportedly wanted at Old Trafford following a torrid season United’s defence in the absence of Nemanja Vidic.
Sir Alex Ferguson has had to tolerate a lot of things during his time at the Theatre of Dreams, but what really annoys the tactician is the lack of defensive stability the club have had in the last few weeks.
United’s fragile defence has been penetrated by anyone willing to run at the 19-time English champions and although things are expected to improve following http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550’s return, the Serbian is no longer the force he once was.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 is also on the decline and may even be departing the club in the summer in search of greener pastures elsewhere.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Jones-c29903 have yet to showcase the consistency that will elevate them to world-class status in a matter of seasons.
So the veteran Scot has allegedly turned his attention to Benfica’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Garay-c13071, who not only has experience at the highest level, but could also be acquired on the cheap as he is set to depart the Portuguese Primeira Liga champions at the end of the
campaign.
United scouts were sent to monitor the situation in Lisbon and favourable reports are coming in, making a transfer highly likely during the summer months.
Garay was previously at Real Madrid, but he failed to impress Jose Mourinho and thus was sent to the Stadium of Light ,where he will now contest in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League with the Eagles.
Ferguson would do himself a world of good by moving for the defender in the next few months, but a possible arrival could dent the development of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972 International has showcased incredible consistency with Vidic
out injured and is ranked highly by the coaching staff now.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that Evans is not likely to be sold by the Red Devils anytime soon and especially after his committed to a new contract with the club today.
While speaking to reporters, both parties were equally delighted with the contract extension, with Fergie himself also piling praise on the centre-back.
"Jonny has risen through the ranks to become an integral part of the first-team squad. He has developed into a top player for us and has scored a couple of important goals this season too. I am delighted he has signed a new contract,” said the former Aberdeen
boss.
"I'm delighted to sign my new contract. I am so proud to play for such a great club, and there's no better feeling than playing football in this team and winning games. I would love to play here throughout the rest of my career,” added Evans.
