Relaxed

Evans has scored four goals for United in all competitions this term and feels that side of his game has developed as a result of him being more at ease in the team. "I'm older, more experienced and more confident, so I just relax more," he added. "The first couple of years I was so desperate to score I was probably going up the other end of the pitch and not thinking about what I was actually doing. I was just thinking, 'I need to score, I need to score'. "Sometimes you've just got to have that bit of composure, not try too hard and get yourself in the right positions."
