Maguire: Evans proving great Man Utd mentor

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has sung the praises of Jonny Evans.

The veteran re-signed for United in August after almost a decade away from the club.

Maguire told manutd.com: Jonny is an excellent player. He's done really well in all the games that he's played this season and he's great to have around the place.

He's great to have as a mentor and for players to look up to. He's professional. He's been a great acquisition to the team and he's done fantastically well.

Obviously, he's had great times at this club and he's won big trophies for this club, so he knows what it's about.

He knows the standards that we need to get to and that's what we're all striving for in terms of getting to them standards, so we can push on and make this club successful, like it demands to be."
