Man Utd boss Moyes plays down Nani, Evans injury concerns

Manchester United boss David Moyes has played down injury concerns for Nani and Jonny Evans.

The pair were forced off in their 1-1 draw with AIK.

Moyes confirmed to MUTV after the match: "Jonny actually got kneed on the ankle. He thought that he was going to be able to run it off. But if we left him on then it would only have got worse for him.

"Nani just felt his groin tighten up and he didn't want to take any risks. Neither did we. We thought it was safer to take him off at that time."
