Fergie To Block Move

Man United defender Jonny Evans has been linked with a move to Barcelona. Today it is believed that manager Sir Alex Ferguson will block a move.

Barcelona haven't made it a secret that they are massive admirers of the defender and they are prepared to make a £12million offer.

“Jonny has been superb for Manchester United and it’s no surprise he is attracting attention like this,” Northern Ireland legend Gerry Armstrong said.

“Jonny is great on the ball and is so versatile — being able to play anywhere across the back four or even midfield.

“He would be a massive hit in Spain, just like Gerard Pique who went from United to Barca in similar circumstances last year.

“However, Sir Alex Ferguson has Jonny earmarked as Rio Ferdinand’s long-term replacement and is far too highly thought of to be sold. Jonny is also worth much more £12million now.”


“We're expecting a lot from Jonny Evans, Danny Welbeck, Darron Gibson, Fedeico Macheda and the Da Silva brothers,” Ferguson said.


Evans played a massive part in Man United's successful season and I am expecting him to have a massive season this season. I can't see Evan's going anywhere. Like Armstrong said, I think he will be Ferdinands successor.
