Evans had everything going right for him at one time, he looked to be the ideal candidate to fill Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic’s boots.

"I have always thought that being at a club like Manchester United, if you can't accept a challenge of someone wanting your spot, you don't deserve to be here," he said.
"That is what Manchester United is all about. You are constantly being tested.
"It is down to you, whether you are good enough, or whether you are putting the effort in to play for the first team."
