Evans rues missed United chance
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has admitted he missed his chance to establish himself in the club's starting line-up.[LNB] United went though a mid-season injury crisis during the last campaign, with the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic out sidelined for lengthy periods.[LNB]The problems meant there was an opportunity for Evans to force himself into the reckoning, however the Northern Ireland international experienced fitness problems of his own.[LNB]And the 22-year-old told The Sun that he felt like his chance to become a first team regular had passed.[LNB]He said: "It was so frustrating because I picked up a few niggly injuries.[LNB]"It was annoying that with players like Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic out injured as well, there were chances to get in and get a few games under your belt."[LNB]Evans recently signed a new four-year deal at Old Trafford, meaning he still has plenty of time to develop into a household name at the Premier League giants.[LNB]The defender now hopes to put his injury problems behind him and become Sir Alex Ferguson's first-choice centre-back.[LNB]He added: "There were windows of opportunities I couldn't take because I was sidelined.[LNB]"By the end of it (the contract), I'd like to be the one of the first names on the team sheet."
