Man Utd defender Evans convinced he's in career best form

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans feels he's in career best form.

The 24-year-old wants people to look beyond his dismissal during the six-goal capitulation against derby rivals Manchester City in November, and look at his more recent in the run in the team.

"I feel I have hit the ground running this season and I feel better than I ever have," Evans said. "I'm stronger and fitter and I believe my game has reflected that. I am also feeling in good shape ahead of Wednesday.

"As for me, people will look back to the derby game against Manchester City and think my season hasn't gone well but I think I'm playing well.

"When you take into consideration the scale of the derby game, people want the blame pointed at someone and because of my red card and how the game ended [it's pointed at me]."
