Johnny Evans is a strapping big lad. By all accounts United have bent over backwards to get him. Im told locally that he was bought a house for his parents by the club (though i dont know how much truth there is in that one)

Im also told that him and a few of the other lads all got huge signing on fees (at least for their age) when they signed their first professional contract. They rushed out and bought sports cars. Fergie found out and went mad. He ordered every one of them to take the cars back and get 'ordinary' cars. Good to see he's still got his finger on the pulse, even at that age.
