Evans implores Man Utd to become more 'attractive'

Jonny Evans believes Manchester United need to step up their performances if they want to be a genuine title threat this season.

The Red Devils have been achieving positive results having lost just once since early November but they have been criticised in recent times for the way have been performing.

The latest negativity came after their 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley last Wednesday, prior to Monday's FA Cup fifth round win over Preston North End by the same scoreline, and Evans hopes they can turn their mediocre output around and begin to play a more eye-catching brand.

"The manager wants us to play more attractive football and I think as players we know we can perform better," he said.

"At the start of the season we were not playing well and we were not getting results but the manager has got us organised and everyone knows their jobs.

"I think once we get that cemented then we can go and start entertaining again. Once we get the ball down show our composure I think the football will be attractive."

United, who are third on the league table, next take on ninth-placed Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
