Great character and never lacked for confidence. Constantly injured though.
We should be able to get a hair decent fee for him in the summer, with him still having 2 more years to go. Needed playing time though.
Hopefully if he can play well for a 6 month period, inter might offer around 10 million for himvery much doubt it. We have tried to sell him for 4 or 5 years. Injury plagued player on £160k per week - no one is buying him.
he's been part of the glass brigade the last few seasons so keeping doesn't really solve our problems if one of Lindelof or Maguire get a significant injury. At best he comes in a for a couple games before his turn on the sidelines. maybe a loan spell away from the club sees him miraculously stay fit and regain some form and we can sell in the summer. or he plays well at Estudiantes and we can keep loaning him to them until his contract expires.Selling him, or keeping him until the end of the season would make more sense. Loaning him out is pointless. And we'll inevitably hit a defender injury crisis.
This is what amazes me on this forum. People are so quick to forget how shit players were for us just because they improve a little at a smaller club with alot let pressure and scrutiny. Evans was horrific and was rightly moved on, same with Smalling.People whine about fecking Evans being sold, when people forgot, after game vs MK Dons, this place wanted him sent on the Moon. Him being out muscle vs any bit strong striker etc.
You can say whatever you want about Evans but he's a better defender than Rojo and with the added bonus of being fit for more than 3 matches a season.People whine about fecking Evans being sold, when people forgot, after game vs MK Dons, this place wanted him sent on the Moon.

Dont forget zaha, moyes sold him I think but still.You can say whatever you want about Evans but he's a better defender than Rojo and with the added bonus of being fit for more than 3 matches a season.
We sold Evans for £2-3m and signed Rojo for £16-20m, thats why people complain. It was a bloody stupid piece of business.
Put that along side selling Rafael for £2m and replacing him with another inferior player like Darmian for £12m and it becomes clear before even talking about Nani/Depay, Hernandez/Falcao that LVG really didn't have a clue what he was doing when trying to build a squad. Shite transfers by Van Gaal and to an extent Mourinho years ago are the reason the current squad is in the state it is.
don’t forget a free loan of Nani and we paid all of his wages - that’s anywhere between another £5-10m.For £16m he wasn't that bad. Bailly for instance is a far worse signing
Ah yes always fit RB Rafael, that one i guess.You can say whatever you want about Evans but he's a better defender than Rojo and with the added bonus of being fit for more than 3 matches a season.

Any reliable starter for a team 14 points ahead of us on the table is definitely a player we should have kept, especially considering CB has been such a total fecking mess for us since Rio and Vidic.You can say whatever you want about Evans but he's a better defender than Rojo and with the added bonus of being fit for more than 3 matches a season.
Centerback, he was good. He was lost as a fullback.Which is? He played a lot as a center back and as a left back for us and he was mostly shit for most of that time.
Him missing 15-20 games a season becomes irrelevant when his replacement couldn't defend and wouldn't attack and cost more than ten times what we sold Rafael for. Darmian stayed fit but he was shit, worst senior fullback i've seen at United in almost 30 years of watching.Ah yes always fit RB Rafael, that one i guess.
To be honest you'd probably find better central defenders than Rojo 14 points behind us.Any reliable starter for a team 14 points ahead of us on the table is definitely a player we should have kept, especially considering CB has been such a total fecking mess for us since Rio and Vidic.
Nope that was also Van Gaal, allowed a promising young winger we bought for £10m to return to the club we just bought him from for £3m 18 months later. Another great piece of business, it's easy to see why we've spent the best part of a billion quid to assemble a mid-table squad.Dont forget zaha, moyes sold him I think but still.
Any price we could sell him for wouldn't make much difference to the club. He may be part of the 'glass brigade', but I'd argue it's worth keeping him for the few times we'd need him, rather than send him out and hope he improves his value to what would still be peanuts.he's been part of the glass brigade the last few seasons so keeping doesn't really solve our problems if one of Lindelof or Maguire get a significant injury.

It’s shocking he’s never gotten a red card playing for us! Even Juan Mata hasHow he escaped reds is a miracle
To prove everyone wrong....Not even a goodbye message Marcos? Probably back here in the summer.
I swear he went into more tackles with 2 feet than he went into with 1.
He has 70 appearances as a center back and 43 appearances as a left back for Manchester United.Centerback, he was good. He was lost as a fullback.
