Evans on verge of making Man Utd team on merit

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Jonny Evans will soon force his way into the Reds line-up by right. Currently Evans is being used as a very able deputy for Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.

"Sometimes I don't know whether I am doing the right thing leaving Jonny out because his performance level has been so high," said Ferguson.

"At times I have been unfair to him.

"But he is still young. He has a great future here and time will come when I have to put him in.

"The great thing about footballers and young players in particular is that one summer they come back and they are a different player.

"They have a different physique and they tell you by their performance that it is time for them to go into the team.

"It has happened countless times at this club and I would think it is a great worry for any experienced player that one of their own is going to take their place."
