Manchester United's Jonny Evans remains determined to meet the standards set by fellow defenders Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic at Old Trafford.

Relaxed

Evans has scored four goals for United in all competitions this term and feels that side of his game has developed as a result of him being more at ease in the team. "I'm older, more experienced and more confident, so I just relax more," he added. "The first couple of years I was so desperate to score I was probably going up the other end of the pitch and not thinking about what I was actually doing. I was just thinking, 'I need to score, I need to score'. "Sometimes you've just got to have that bit of composure, not try too hard and get yourself in the right positions."
