Former Manchester United star Sammy McIlroy is delighted seeing Jonny Evans start the season in the first team.
The ex-Northern Ireland coach believes Evans has shown the necessary maturity to wait for his chance.
McIlroy told the Manchester Evening News: "I am sure Jonny knew the position but he has to be patient and just take his chances when they come. <> "He will get many, many more opportunities because he is a marvellous player and has a great future at Old Trafford."
