Ferguson: Evans has a future here

Jonny Evans has been assured by Sir Alex Ferguson that he has a big future as a Manchester United centre-half.

The 20-year-old excelled against Villarreal and Chelsea last week but will lose out to Nemanja Vidic — available again after suspension — against Bolton at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Boss Ferguson said: "Jonny will be a future centre-half for Manchester United, there is no doubt about that.

"That is a vindication of our belief in the boy. It should also prove he can believe what we're saying to him.

"We had a lot of offers from clubs who wanted to buy him in the summer — three or four clubs were interested — but we stuck to our guns because we believe in him.

"He will play a lot of football at this club."
