Van Persie was the only first choice under Fergie - Evans


Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has revealed some squad selection news under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Robin van Persie was the only player last season who was guaranteed a start following his move from Arsenal and boy did he justify that with 30 goals for his Scot master.
The Northern Ireland international said:
“Unless it was Robin van Persie or Cristiano Ronaldo when he was here, there was never a first choice in any position.
“If you didn’t perform he would have you out of the team, but then if one of the other players had a game or two when they weren’t at their best the manager would have no problem putting you back in.
“The key thing was whenever he picked a team you always thought he was doing it for a reason, not because of any personal vendetta or that he didn’t rate you.
“Now we don’t know how the new manager will work. That is why everyone is so desperate to impress.”
