The 20-year-old Northern Ireland international is determined to prove himself to Sir Alex Ferguson and win a place in his long-term plans.

However, having impressed during his two loan spells at the Stadium of Light under the charge of United old boy Roy Keane, he admits he would be open to a move and told the Sunderland Echo: "When Roy Keane says he wants you, it's a massive compliment. If he wanted to make this move permanent, it's something I would want to talk about."

He added: "Playing in the Premier League in games that matter is what it's all about, and what I want to be doing for a few years to come.

"But nothing has been said at all by Sunderland or Manchester United about anything beyond this season.

"Everything's very similar to the situation when I was here last season.

"The most important thing at the moment is that we get results and no-one is looking beyond our next game."

Evans, who played in Northern Ireland's 4-1 win over Georgia on Wednesday, added: "I am really enjoying playing a full part in Sunderland's season.

United is the club I support and to have the chance to make it there is still a great opportunity that no player surrenders easily.

"But if I was ever going to leave Manchester United, Sunderland would definitely be an option for me - if they want me."
