Erik Ten Hag praised “massively important” Jonny Evans after the defender was drafted into the starting line-up and helped Manchester United to a 1-0 victory against Burnley. The 35-year-old made his first start for the club since 2015 and, as well as helping secure a much-needed clean sheet, Evans set up Bruno Fernandes for the only goal after having an earlier header ruled out. Evans re-signed for the club earlier this month following his release by Leicester, and boss Ten Hag said: “We have problems and in this moment a lot is against us: injuries, decisions, and we have all seen the examples.
