Manchester United defender Jonny Evans is delighted with the way his game is coming together.
Evans has become United's most consistent centre-half in the last 18 months.
He told manutd.com: "It has given me responsibility, maturity and helped develop my game. Last year, especially in the second half of the season, I played nearly every game. I always say that the more games you play the more you learn. You can do as much training as you want but it's out on the pitch that you really learn.
"It's on the big stage that you gain experience. I've picked up a lot from being in the team and playing a lot of games. I also think physically it's helped me develop. It's a big ask on your body having to play that amount of games. Physically I feel a lot stronger for it."
