Evans winning memories bagged
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans does not dwell on the past. According to a report in the News of the World newspaper, the young Northern Irishman has packed his EPL winners medal from last season into a plastic bag and stored it in a safe place. Why? Because he doesn’t want to get ahead of himself before nailing down a first team place. "You only have to look at this club to see how many young lads came through and played as many as 50 or 60 games,” Evans told the paper. "They leave United and spend the rest of their career going down and down. It's hard to stay at the top and you have to keep pushing yourself every day. That's why the medals I won last season just had to be put away immediately. They are now in a Marks and Spencer's bag back at home.”
