New Contract for Evans - Noucamp99 - 09-05-2010

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."

Go Jonny Go.
It good to see him sign a new contract. The lad will do well. If he is modelling his career on the older ones like Scholes, Giggs and Neville and has a passion for the club that will give him an edge above some others who may come along. Too many players are only at a club for the development oportunity and the big money and move on at the first chance they get. Skill is very important obviously but passion is also very important. It can make all the difference between a win and a draw. (Look at Paul Scholes goal at Eastlands) If he is pledging his allegance for the long term then hopefully he will be another UTD legend in 15 yrs time.
I'm obviously biased but what he learns at UTD will also help the Northern Ireland national team. He has been a great asset so far. He should get plenty of matches as our defence seem to pick up a lot of injuries, especially Rio.
