Thirtysomething would suit Evans

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has admitted playing 30 games for the Red Devils this season would be beyond his wildest dreams.After two successful loan spells at Sunderland, Evans remained at Old Trafford this season with Sir Alex Ferguson assuring the young defender he is a major part of his plans for the future.

Ferguson is backing up his words with actions and, not for the first time, giving youth its chance.

Rather than go for the experience of Wes Brown, when first Nemanja Vidic then, last night against Celtic, Rio Ferdinand was missing, the United boss has put Evans straight in.

The Northern Ireland international has responded with a series of calm, assured displays, with United conceding just once in the three games he has been involved, and that was in the title showdown with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Evans realises it might be the middle of next month and the Carling Cup tie with QPR before another opportunity comes his way. But he is determined to make the most of any chances that do arrive.

"It would be nice to get 30 games, in fact it sounds tremendous," said the 20-year-old.

"Even if I get up to 20 games it would be good.

"I benefit from extra confidence and experience just by being on the bus so I am really enjoying it at present."

At 20, Evans has plenty of time on his side. However, with youth does not always come patience.

So, Ferguson's repeated statements that the Northern Ireland star represents the future at Old Trafford do not help that much when you want to play now.

With Ferdinand and Vidic established as first choice defenders, breaking through is not going to be easy. It leaves Evans scanning the dressing room for examples to learn from.

"It does get frustrating," he said.

"There are so many top class players here who don't get a game every week.

"John O'Shea is one. He is a great player who could probably play in any position but he has to bide his time.

"I watch how well he takes it. He is a model professional and trains as hard as anyone."

Evans does not seem entirely convinced himself that his long-term future will be at United.

In highlighting the improvements he is making to his game, he states that even if he is forced to move on in a couple of years, he will be better for the experience.

Such defeatist talk may make Ferguson feel slightly uneasy.

Evans may not have been given the toughest workout by an outclassed Celtic sideon Tuesday night night but there is little doubt his manager is being sincere when he talks about the Belfast-born player's rare ability.

And, even Evans accepts to be picked against Chelsea last month when Vidic was suspended represented a huge show of faith.

"The manager could have tried someone else I suppose but he put me in, and against Villarreal before that, which was fantastic," he said.

"I had played against them for Sunderland, so I had that experience and to play in central defence at Stamford Bridge was a real confidence booster."

Indeed, those two spells at the Stadium of Light are the platform from which Evans is operating down.

While staying at Old Trafford either required persuasion in the face of numerous other offers, or simply being told what to do depending on whether you take Ferguson or Evans' observations at face value, Roy Keane is the man who gave the youngster his first chance to prove he was the equal of rave reviews received back in Northern Ireland.

"I can't speak more highly of my time at Sunderland and I am grateful to Roy Keane for giving me the chance to play Premier League football," he said.
