Evans ready for derby clash
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans is relishing the chance to put one over Manchester City on Sunday at Old Trafford. [LNB] City`s new-look side have started the season with a bang, chalking up four successive victories in the Barclays Premier League and Evans is looking forward to the next challenge of facing United's big-spending neighbours.[LNB] "We all know about the big rivalry between United and City and it's always nice to get the upper hand on them, " he told manutd.com. "They have put themselves up there now. It's a long season but fair play to them because they've got off to a good start." [LNB] Evans, 21, could retain his place in the team and partner Nemanja Vidic should Rio Ferdinand continue to struggle with a groin injury. [LNB] Ferdinand was expected to play in midweek against Besiktas only to suffer a further setback after recovering from a calf strain. [LNB] Evans is thoroughly enjoying life at Old Trafford. [LNB] "I feel very settled among the first team squad now," he continued. "I also felt very much part of it last season, but it was kind of a new thing for me. [LNB] "Rio and Nemanja are the top centre-backs in the world and I'm learning a lot from them. [LNB] "Wes (Brown) and myself have both got a fight on our hands to get into the team, but I still think we will play a lot throughout the season."
