Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Jonny Evans after some stunning recent performances, and has labelled him the 'new Nemanja Vidic'.

In Tuesday's match programme Sir Alex wrote: "I take several positives from our form, including the performance of Jonny Evans."

"Jonny showed why one day he will be a regular Manchester United centre-half. A number of clubs have bid substantial amounts for him, but we have turned them all down because his future is with us.
