Evans is young and hasa lot to learn. I can remember 10 years ago Alan Hanson used to pick apart a young �Rio Ferdinand, highlighting his many deficencies and look what he became. Lay off Evans, let him develop and he will be a great centre back for years to come


Well said that man. Obviously those people who think Evans is United's worst ever centre back have no idea that United played for 114 years before the Premiership was invented. There were some terrible players in the 70's and 80's. I'm on record here saying before that Jonny Evans is a fantastic talent, he's played over 100 games for United already! His confidence is growing as he plays a run of games and he is looking bigger and stronger.

I've noticed the haters have been pretty quiet recently. Too much negativity on this forum from plastic supporters. Evans will be first choice for the next 10 years and there's a good chance he will end up as Captain.


I'm not a hater of Evans. He has always shown potential, but he is not consistent enough yet.
He has not played anywhere near 100 games for Utd.
