It's a matter of two questions: Do we really need him? How much money is Keano willing to spend on a very bright CB talent that is already Premiership proven?
First of all I think Evans has the ability to become an extraordinary defender. He has settled down in the Premiership easily, the Sunderland fans are praising him all the way. But at United it would be a lot more difficult. We've got Rio and Vidic, arguably one of the best CB partnerships in modern world football. We've got Gerard Pique who seems to be a special talent as well who has already earned raving reviews in La Liga and has proved to be able to play alongside Rio. And last but not least we still do not know what is going to happen to Wes Brown. Will he sign the contract? We have had an excellent season without Evans and we all know that he won't get too much time on the pitch in the coming season as well. This case can't be compared to Rossi, strikers are different to defenders in many aspects, definitely also in terms of playing time.
It will all depend on how much money Keano will offer. If Evans wants to stay at Sunderland and Keano offers more than £6m, Fergie will let the boy go. Remember Keane paid us about £5,5m for Richardson (!) and around £2m for Bardsley, he'll most probably pay even more for Evans who is very important for them to stay in the Prem. I'd say sell him for no less than £8m, even though I hate to see so many of our very own youth players leaving.
