Manchester United defender Jonny Evans says there's no envy amongst the players in Sir Alex Ferguson's squad.

Evans admits the last 18 months have been a whirlwind for him as he established himself as a senior player at United.

He told BBC Northern Ireland: "Looking back, it all happened so fast. It isn't until you look back and you sort of think 'I played over 30 games last season' so it's a lot more than what I expected and it's great to get those games under your belt but I know I've still got a lot more to improve.

"There's some fantastic players here - Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Nemanja Vidic - all the centre-backs at this club are great defenders, there's a lot of competition but it's a friendly rivalry and we all encourage each other and whoever is picked on a Saturday, everyone wishes each other the best."
