I was surprised that no one posted this news, while I was away! Jonny Evans has signed a 4-year deal with United:

Jonny happy to commit

Fresh from signing a new contract, Jonny Evans says he would happily follow in the footsteps of United's elder statesmen and stay at Old Trafford for his whole career, but he recognises he will need to maintain a consistently high standard to do that.

The 22-year-old central defender has played a key role in United's quest for silverware over the last two seasons, regularly and ably stepping in to provide cover for first choice pairing Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic. Evans is delighted to have committed himself to the club for the next four years and is looking forward to the challenges ahead.

"Negotiations started a couple of months ago and went pretty smoothly and I'm glad to have finally signed," said Evans. "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."

Evans believes he has come a long way in the last couple of seasons and feels he has thrived on the pressure of facing some of the best players in Europe.

"Playing at a club like Manchester United you are always going to be involved in big matches and it's something I relish," he added. "I have really enjoyed the last two seasons. It has been a great experience for me and I have learnt a lot."

Quote:Wayne Rooney has been named Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year for 2010 after a fantastic season for United.

It's the second time he's won the award, as voted for by United fans around the world, following his original success in 2006.

He won by a landslide this year, receiving 83 per cent of the votes cast on ManUtd.com. Patrice Evra and Antonio Valencia were in second and third place respectively.

On receiving the trophy, Wayne said: "I’m delighted to win the fans’ Player of the Year award. It's a special feeling and something I’m really proud of.

"The fans come and watch us all over the country and all over Europe and pay a lot of money to do it. The support they give us is unbelievable.

"If we’re playing at home and the game isn’t going right for us and we need to score a goal to win it, the fans push you on. You can feel that, you can sense that on the pitch. It’s a magical feeling really. And the fans away from home are incredible. They’re the best fans in the world."

Rooney is the first Englishman to be named United's Player of the Year since Teddy Sheringham in 2001. Should he retain it in 2011, he'll become only the second man to win it three times, emulating Cristiano Ronaldo (2004, 2007 and 2008).

Wayne's club accolade completes a personal Player of the Year hat-trick for this season, after his peers in the PFA and the nation's top football journalists in the FWA also made him their top man for 2009/10.

He won a hat-trick of club awards on Tuesday night, also collecting the Players' Player of the Year accolade from Sir Alex Ferguson and the Goal of the Season trophy for his strike on the counter-attack against Arsenal on 31 January.

Wayne admitted he was "a bit surprised I got Goal of the Season. I think Michael Owen's winner against Manchester City should have won it.
