Jonny Evans has put pen to paper on a contract which will keep him at the club until 2014. Sir Alex Ferguson announced the deal at the Player of the Year awards this week and Evans has today signed.
“I am delighted to have signed a new contract,” Evans said. “I’ve supported Manchester United all my life and it’s a great honour to be able to continue to wear the badge of this great club. I’d like to thank the staff, players and fans for their continued support in my development.”
You can never underestimate the positive effect that having the likes of Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville has on our squad. Evans’ attitude is testament to that, with him joining several players in aspiring to spend as long with the club as they have.
“Negotiations started a couple of months ago and went pretty smoothly and I’m glad to have finally signed,” he contined. “It’s nice to have a bit of security. It means I can start planning – little things like that are good. They help you settle and put your mind at ease. It would be nice to stick around as long as the older guys who are signing extensions. They just keep going. The contract is there but you still have to perform for the manager. If your performance levels dropped you could be sold in January. Playing at a club like Manchester United you are always going to be involved in big matches and it’s something I relish. I have really enjoyed the last two seasons. It has been a great experience for me and I have learnt a lot.”

Great news to get him signed up for another four years, now get Rooney tied down!
Top Player, Top Lad – and Big Brother to Corry.
Evans and Smalling future center backs.
As Gary Neville once said, he’s living the dream. Playing for the club he has supported all his life. Great to see and long may he thrive.
Top bloke Evans! You deserve a new contract just for this beauty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7-RXM5sg7k
what a family, all of them hard as nails
Zelh – that could possibly be the case but smallen has not much experience and evans is prone to mistakes so there is still a long way to go if we are sure they will be the future CB’S, do not forget many thought foster was the future no 1.
on the rumors ireland wants to move on would any united fan like to see ireland at the club, what Ido like about ireland not only has he said he is a united fan but he does score goals from midfield and he is 23 so that could be a great bit ofbuisness, only downside with ireland is the possible mentality of the player because he has done some outrages stuff
Great news. We have a great quota of top quality central defenders.
Off topic- Scott, are you going to post an article about the US tour?
Great news, evans is on his way to becoming one of the best defenders in the world.
@ RTNK, I asked that question a while back and not many united fans wanted him cause of his city connections, but i would gladly take him if we could get him for maybe 8-12 million, would be a great addition and will bring a midfield goal threat while also bringing good creative passing and as you said he’s only 23 so yet to peak, worth a shout at a decent price
Off Topic: Does anyone knows what was the score for Arsenal x United U18? It should’ve take place today at 11 am.
Thanks.
Gr8 News, He fully deserves it.
Great news, he’s improving all the time and is going to be an immense player for us. I love that we always have a core of British players and he will be part of a new one – along with Fletcher and Rooney for years to come.
Good news. Hope Smalling will be a hit in the future. Now get Rooney, Vidic and Evra tied. Those 2 defender worth and deserved it more than anybody.
Danillaço
arsenal vs united u18s finished 1-1 after extra time but united lost 5-4 on penalties.
*5-3* i meant
future legend
Sky Sp News reports Vidic has said he will be at Old Trafford next season. More Gr8 News.
Really chuffed for the lad, just imagine having a chance to influence the outcome of your childhood club’s games. I think consistent playing time will help him a lot, needs to work on his composure on the ball and his delivery. Other than that, the lad’s a beast. I strongly believe in a couple years time he’ll be one of the best centrebacks in the world.
Superb news. A great centre half who will only get better. Annoyed me when someone said last month he is “ameurturish”. Will become the best centre half in the league.
James21 – hello mate. Yeah just seen that Vidic story, more top news. I really like the pairing of Vida and Jonny.
King Eric – I hope vidic is saying is true because look at the lies ronaldo said that he would stay all through last season and by the time july came around he went to the dark side. Ronaldo for me is anakin skywalker of football, a great one that had everything in palm of his hand, but he was being corrupted by family advisers and especially his fat almost ignorent rhyno of a mother infuenced his decision to move to the fascist. all we need now is rooney and vidic to sign new deals and we will be set to win more trophys, united would have learnt and fergie especially up your game do not make daft mistakes and united will win the league has we always do
Great news. Him and Vida will develop a mean partnership next season.
Danillaco…
it was 0-0 fulltime…they arsenal full of foreigners in their academy team scored in extra time….william keane went off and john cofe scored an equaliser 19 secs after coming on.
However unfortunately we lost on pens mate
Costas – if vidic stays and ferdinand keeps fit how will evans and smallen play much because I feel there is a rock and a hard place with the team next season, especally how will allot of the younger players break through if he kees with the senior players, scholes neville and giggs are the exceptions because it makes sence keeping them on
This is an appeal to all UNITED FANS.
Ok we have missed Ronaldo and tevez, losing the best player in the world leaves you with a big hole to fill.
Ok we may not have the proper finance to suffieciently replace in the summer
Ok we have had glazer fuckin issues hanging over us
Ok we have probably been over reliant on wazza
Ok berba hasnt stepped up to the plate
Ok we possible lack a little creativity
Ok we should have beaten blackburn, villa, burnley etc etc
BUT I ASK YOU…WHO WHO AND WHICH WHICH TEAM WOULD AND COULD COPE WITH WHAT WE HAVE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THIS SEASON…I ASK YOU?
People say oh dont have sour grapes, make no excuses, everything evens itslef out after a 38 game season, and the winner always deserves it. Oh fuckin yeh
1. Didnt lose 1 player here and there which you can cope with…but lost the whole defence most of season.
2. 7 out of 8 defenders out for 2 months, park, fletch and carrick playing at back.
3. Rio, vida, vds, brown, sheasy, nevo, jonny all missing huge huge huge chunks of season..months and months at a time
4. With such a travesty of injuries still we still somehow conceded the least in prem and vds has best clean sheet ratio.
5. Ando, owen, hargo, sheasy all missing 90% of the season
6. Lost rooney in the worst possible moment and worst possible 14 days
7. At scum bridge..Scum terry on Valencia pen not given
8. Fletch gets ball on cashley hole yet free kick given
9. Brown yanked down by dog
10. Terry cunt and dog with the most blatant handballs v bolton…coyle fuming, yet nowt given
11. Dog 2 yards offside at OT
12. Dippers giving rentboys early xmas gift
FUCKIN WHICH TEAM HAS HAD TO PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT.
Yes i admit in past seasons we have had our breaks and calls. But this season its been injustice after injustice.
People say oh dont be deluded and dont believe in conspiracies. But i ask you where did those decisions even themselves out in the season???????? Cos i cant find em
Atkinson stood 40 yards away behind joe cole for all those decisions at scum bridge. Dean and Beck got demoted to championship after OT debacle. What fuckin help was that to us. The prem lge indirectly admitted they screwed us.
Those decisions were sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong they cant be mistakes.
Lets face it…they the prem and the FA wanted the rentboys to win the double and deny us 4 in a row.
Andy Gray the twat even admitted as much and Sir Alex intimated today the injustices we have suffered this season.
I appeal to all UNITED fans to write to the corrupt FA and prem lge and fuckin bombard them.
We can let the bastards get away with it, they’ve been screwing us over with fines and bans for years.
And now they will revel in the fly by night chav asbo scums win on sunday.
Bastards!!!!!
“it was 0-0 fulltime…they arsenal full of foreigners in their academy team scored in extra time….william keane went off and john cofe scored an equaliser 19 secs after coming on.”
Sorry, I have to take issue with this. It was a good game and both sides have some great talent coming through, but the Arsenal academy team is not “full of foreigners”. Out of the starting 11, 10 players could register for England or Ireland if they wanted. I think ManU had the same proportion, with Joshua King being Norwegian – not sure on that though. We a few young lads with African heritage, but raised in London – Evina, Boateng and Frimpong – who look like they’ll play for their parents’ countries even though they could just as easily play for England.
suhayl – the only way they will even themselves out is chelsea draw with wigan and united beat stoke meaning united retain the league then we can say decisions even themselves out, like I say anyone say chelsea deserve to win the league needs their heads bashed in
By way. The guys who were having a pop at scott yesterday about politics.
YES politics is a murky business, yes most are in it for own glory, yes Labour has moved from its grass roots of socialism.
But Labour is closest to us…..a working class north of england working man union party
Stemming from the industrial revolution, trafford park industries, mills, cotton industries….as Sir matt said ” our job was to entertain all those labour workers who worked long shifts in the trafford industries”
I personally remember what the tory bastard goverment did under thatcher, they consigned a whole generation to the scrap heap and left the north destitute…fuckin bastards.
vote, dont vote……………….thats peoples prerogative.
But i personally I CANNOT STOMACH ANOTHER BLUE BASTARD, LAANDAAN TAAN, UP THEIR OWN ARSES, POSH, PONCE, THINK THEYRE BETTER THAN THE REST FUCKIN BLUE BASTARD TEAM/PARTY thinking theyre it and celebrating THEIR HOLLOW SUCCESS.
FUCK CHELSEA SCUM
FUCK CONSERVATIVE SCUM
Apologies for my french guys
More good news.
GUNNAR…..we have a few foreign lads in our academy…but most, keane, tuncliffe, ajose etc etc etc all come from a stones throw away from OT.
I dont know your players in and out, but it was reminiscent of the french team in the 1998 world cup…picked players from all ex france colonies in africa, america etc..zizou, karembeu, desailly, thuram etc etc.
Even the commentators said there were players from the barca academy, rest were african players….most seemed foreign to me
Our players come from stockport, bury etc ( which are next to manchester ) etc etc…not senegal or catalonia.
Sorry it seems to me, much like your first team…we has 11 non englishmen or even from the uk most weeks in prem…ala your team being the first to field 11 non uk players in the prem. Your academy seems to be following suit.
At united you’ll always see englishman, and atleast scots or welsh players.
bonjour
agree though…both teams full of talent
good luck in the final
No, I’m not here to cause trouble or anything like that. Ignasi Miquel is Spanish and we had Hajrovic and Ozyakup on the bench.
Personally I’ve always thought that it doesn’t matter where a player’s from as long as he’s goon enough (or, not as the case may be for us right now!). It’s just that there’s this myth around that we’re not developing young English talent and contributing to the England team being shit, and this just isn’t true. Have a look below:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenal_F.C._Academy
A lot of our lads have foreign-sounding names, but that’s what London’s all about – it’s a big melting-pot and the 90 minute drive rule applies as much to us as to you. The vast majority are London lads. And the same goes for the last year’s batch of youngsters.
Still yeah, I hope to see them playing against each other on a bigger stage in a few years – Morrison, Keane and Pogba look decent.
no probs gunnar mate……you’re spot on with alot you say……
both teams contributed to a great game..
was impressed with your keeper shay….thought he won it for you in the end…..we should have had a blatant pen though i feel..lol
and pen shootouts are always a lottery…tuncliffe should have hammered his tho
take care mate..
and good luck in the final
@suhayl
i totaly agree, have been saying this after the Chelski-game where we were robbed the win. That was the moment when i realised “Oh fuck, they really put all clutches to it this season to not let us win the title!”
I’m sure that if Chelski are heading for a draw tomorrow, they will get some sort of penalty like City got against us, from outside of the pen. area or something.
Yet, i have this kind of strange feeling that Wigan might just put up with the corrupt russian scums..
Fingers crossed, BELIVE.
It’s what we are about, after all
Yeah, doesn’t seem right settling u18 games on pens. Shea’s a prospect, but maybe looks a bit short to be a top, top keeper; he was good today, but I have no idea what he was thinking with that challenge on Pogba.
One other thing – it’d only be a good thing for the future of the English game if the best academy teams played each other more. Could be wrong, but I think that was the first time we’ve met since 2007 – and it was a great game, just like it was back then. The system’s sorta fooked.
Anyway, good luck this weekend, and come on Wigan! Can’t stand the thought of the Chavs winning.
yep mate the groups sections thing more to do with geography, young lads travelling etc maybe..lol
win your own section then play other sections..i dont know
personally think it will be 5-0 to chav scum…..but thanks for those comments mate
and i hope you get 3rd..lol…..im sure you will with fulham in europa 3 days later.
take care pal, have a good weekend
Good stuff Jonny boy, you and Smalling are our future.
@SUHAYL ~ Cracking post at 20:11 ! Good work, my guy. You speak for millions of United members worldwide. I salute ua contribution. By the way, big up for ua cracking 15 odd posts on the City poster thread. You surely did put them in their place!! Bravo
If miracles do happen, then the Latics will snatch atleast a draw at SB, a common meagre,ordinary draw! Let’s win it this season & find a way of helping Wigan achieve ‘something’ as a reward for doing what the scousers couldn’t do. I believe we are yet to see the last of the comic refereeing & the last episode wil be at SB to deny the hosts a clear goal-scoring opportunity claiming an offside on dogba & awarding Wigan an injury-time spot kick due to Terry’s ball to hand. I’m not delusional, i’m simply optimistic. It’s not over until it’s mathematically over! BELIEVE!
@RTNK
I don’t think Smalling will feature much next season mate. But, in Evans’ case, I think that it’s time that he and Vidic started playing more often together. That’s not to say that Ferdinand is finished. Far from it. But it’s possible that our most fit central defenders next season will be Evans and Vidic. So why not use them more often instead of wearing out Rio?
Hey fellas, I’m confused. I read many newspaper stories in recent months saying Evans had refused a new contract and was on his way to Barcelona or Madrid.
You don’t think this means the newspapers are full of shit, do you?
Costas – I don’t think Rio will want to sit on the bench next season, if he’s fit, he’ll play.
Fantastic news, this lad is the future of the Club along with Fredrico, Darron, Mame, Rafael, Fabio, Danny,Gabriel, Ritchie etc etc, and the lads in the academy.The prospects look brilliant, the envy of most and still improving , not least thanks to our Stars* whom they can model themselves upon…..I think when I see people who post get rid of those ? do you learn your trade from a text book or from a professional who has done the work from the grass roots through to the top.You dont ask an apprentice to train an apprentice right!
To stand in for Rio and Nemanja and not looked phased says volumes, in junction with Chris Smalling the future looks bright in central defence.
Well played Jonny*
I think Smalling will feature next season, especially if Rio or Vidic get injured, he will need to step in, i think the boss has said as much.
@willierednut
Yeah, he’ll not be too fond of the idea. But he is pushing 32 and he’s had many injury problems in the last 2 years, so it could be the best idea for him and the club to use him in the capacity that the likes of Scholes and Giggs have been used in recent seasons.
Future does look good especially with Da Laet and the Da Silva twins as well. Our back four will be solid for many years to come unlike our rivals who do seem to be struggling and are having to buy their way out of trouble.
i see Suhayl is back, and back with a bang !!!
Without a doubt one of the future great defenders.
I dont know why people say Pique is better than Evans and we made a mistake selling Pique , Evans makes more tackles in one match than Pique does in 4 games with his team keeping the ball for more than 60 mins of a football match and the rest of the 30 mins , the opposition has the ball in their own half , against Inter and Arsenal away , Pique struggled to keep up with Miltito , Eto’o , Fabregas , Walcott especially etc , the matches at the Camp Nou , all he has to deal with is long aimless balls , he’s a great passer and has better offensive qualities than defensive qualities . And Evans handles Drogba better than Pique did last year where Chelsea should have won the match with comfortable ease .
ashhotjet90 – If Pique played as well for us as he has played for Barca, we would be selling him now anyway. We would have got more money for him, but he would still be going back to Spain, and by which point, Evans would have been sold, because we couldn’t keep both of them. Evans probably will spend his entire career with United and will fight harder for our club than Pique ever would, because he’s a red and this club is a dream come true for him… Barca always would have been Pique’s dream.
Yeah man , thats right . But my point being my hate with the Barca wank fest . Their midfield is their defence , Pique would never have gone on to play for United as well as he’s playing for Barca , in my opinion , he would actually struggle .
Suhay mate….l politics should be left off this site. On here we all support ManUTD .
Not the Fucking Labour party….fucking conservatives masquerading as Labour should I say…
or them fucking Tories…..
or them dopey Lib Dem’s who dont know who the fuck they are …..
Politics bore me …….as all the cunts who are chosen are all after the same thing ……
GLORY FOR THEMSELVES and fuck us in any way that lines their pockets.
*Suhayl*
Tonybee…just my opinion mate…my northern working class roots and how i was brought up…as united thru and thru and a working class family…that and united roots intwined
wazza begi…yep mate back after nearly a year lol…
hope you’re well mate, some old guard on here have gone, good to see though not all have gone.
some new posters on here wind me up bigtime though
hope you are well
He will be among the best CB in the world.
