Man Utd midfielder Corry Evans: I need loan move

Manchester United midfielder Corry Evans is anxious about getting a loan move away.

Corry was only 12-year-olds when he left Rathcoole, but his future had already been mapped out in front of him and like brother Jonny Evans, he has never wavered off that course.

"The whole reason we came to Manchester was for Jonny and I to eventually play in the United first-team," Corry told the Belfast Telegraph.

"Getting onto the bench in a Carling Cup game is more progress for me and it's great to get that recognition.

"Hopefully there will be managers who will see me on the bench or if I come on and want to take me on-loan.

"I need to get out for a while and be tested at a higher level.

"Playing reserve team football at Manchester United isn't challenging me anymore. We played at Bury the other night and beat them 5-1. Some of the games are too easy because of the quality we have.

"I need to get experience and then come back to United and fight for a first-team place.

"I look at what Jonny did. He went to Sunderland, did well and when he came back he was told he couldn't go out again.

"He hardly played and went back to Sunderland again for the second half of the next season when they were in the Premier League and established himself and since he's come back to United he hasn't looked back.

"You've seen it with so many players, even as far back as David Beckham, going out on-loan has been the best thing that's happened to them in terms of fighting for a first-team place."
