Manchester United's Jonny Evans
JONNY EVANS is set to sign a new four-year deal with
Manchester United worth around £20,000 a week.
The defender has agreed terms even though he is not a
regular part of boss Sir Alex Ferguson’s plans.
Fergie was keen to tie down Northern Ireland
international Evans because he believes the 20 year old can develop
into a Premier League regular.
Evans has spent two loan spells at Sunderland and
played in United’s midweek Champions League draw against
Aalborg.
He is the latest United player to agree terms, with
veteran keeper Edwin van der Sar, 38, also signing a new
contract.
