Player of the Month - March
1 - Jonny Evans (47%)
2 - Wayne Rooney (44%)
3 - Ashley Young (6%)
4 - Rio Ferdinand (3%)
Jonny Evans has been named Manchester United’s Player of
the Month following polls on the club’s seven official
websites.
It is the first time that Evans has won the award in his Reds
career following a string of outstanding performances throughout
March as the champions only conceded one goal in four Barclays
Premier League matches.
Sir Alex recently wrote in his United Review column: "When I think back
to the time when so many critics were ready for me to move Evans
on, I hope they're questioning their judgement because the boy has
been in sure form lately."
Evans thoroughly deserved the accolade after breaking his
goalscoring duck for the first team, shining at the heart of the
defence and setting up Wayne Rooney's winner against Fulham with
some quick thinking. The Northern Ireland international pipped
Rooney in the poll while other nominees Ashley Young and Rio
Ferdinand were further back in the voting.
On ManUtd.com's message board, Talking Reds, RG11CAB commented: "I was at
the West Brom match and I have to say it looked like Jonny said to
Rio, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything". Jonny was superb
and it seemed that Rio didn't have to make a tackle! He's superb at
the moment and is silencing all his critics. Keep it up Jonny."
Evans becomes the seventh player to scoop the prize
this season after David De Gea (twice),
Wayne Rooney, Nani, Javier Hernandez, Dimitar Berbatov and
Antonio Valencia.
