Manchester United legend Kevin Moran believes Jonny Evans has the potential to be one of the world’s best centre-backs, following his brilliant display in the Premier League against Chelsea. The Northern Ireland international has established himself as a first team regular at Old Trafford as Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic continue to struggle with form and fitness, and Moran, who played close to 250 games for United, believes the 21-year-old can be the cornerstone of United’s defence for many years to come.
Kevin Moran told the Manchester Evening News: “From the very first time I saw Jonny I could see that this was a young man who wasn't going to get fazed by anything,”
“He is only going to get better and better as he learns about the position and also about bossing others.
“I think he has it in him to do that and organize well. I have no doubt he will be a big central figure in years to come.”
