Manchester United veteran Jonny Evans says his role is strictly as backup.

The 35 year-old was superb for victory at Burnley last night, his first start since re-signing for United last month.

He said afterwards: No, not at all, I was told I'd come in as cover for the other players, which was completely fine.

That's the mindset.

There's been a few injuries with Harry [Maguire] and [Lisandro] Martinez out injured and Rapha [Varane] coming back from a time out. So it's just trying to be ready, mentally ready and I came in tonight just filling in."
