Manchester United defender Jonny Evans welcomes their Capital One Cup semifinal draw with Sunderland.
Evans has spent previous seasons on-loan at Sunderland.
"I had two loans spells there and I loved my time at Sunderland," Evans told manutd.com. "In my first season there we won the Championship with Roy Keane as manager and then the next season I went back there and we managed to stay in the Premier League which was a good achievement at the time.
"It gave me a good platform to return to United and fight for a first-team spot. I was very fortunate with my loan moves. I went to Royal Antwerp which was a good experience and then had two spells at Sunderland and each of my loan spells were about progression in terms of the quality of the opposition. And it has definitely benefitted me."
