Jamie Carragher absolutely blown away by ‘outstanding’ Man United player vs Aston Villa
Aston Villa and Manchester United went into the break level.
📖Both sides failed to really create anything of note with just two shots on targets combined, so Unai Emery and Erik ten Hag will have some thinking to do during the interval.
ꦬThough, there was one standout performer who really caught the eye of Jamie Carragher.
Jamie Carragher so impressed by Jonny Evans
Speaking on commentary during the first half, Jamie Carragher waxed lyrical about Jonny Evans♛, who was a surprised inclusion in the starting line-up.
✅“Jonny Evans has been outstanding. A lot of eyebrows raised when the team news came out today but he’s just stopped a really dangerous attack from Villa.”
🦋The 36-year-old was an assured presence in the absence of Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez, who were both named on the bench.
Evans has actually been a pretty astute signing for Man Unitedไ since arriving on a free from Leicester during the summer of 2023.
﷽In fact, in the limited appearances the Northern Irishman had, there’s certainly a case to be made that he’s the best out-and-out defender.
Evans’ positioning is top draw.
Jonny Evans statistics
Here are Evans’ impressive statistics, as per :
- 49 minutes
- 31 touches
- 7/8 duels won
- 3 tackles
- 1 block
- 88 per cent completion
✅If he continues this display in the second half, the former Leicester City man has certainly made a claim to start the next game against Brentford after the international break.
