Jonny Evans is backing Manchester United teammate Danny Welbeck to soon be pressing for regular first team action.

Welbeck struck in this week's Carling Cup in at Barnsley before he came off in the second half. Today he is having a scan on the knee injury he suffered.

Evans said: "Danny is improving all the time and learning from the first team lads.

"He is a fantastic talent and can go all the way. He is so hard to play against. He has great skill as well."
