Fergie hails Man Utd star

Evra has appeared in all 36 of United’s Premier League games to date.

“The form of Evra has been ­sensational all season,” said Ferguson. “He is the one player who has not missed any games.

“We rested him at Blackburn, but he still came on as sub, because I think he needed the break then.

“He came back tremendously last week. If you look at the rest of the back four, they have all had scattered ­appearances.

“There’s no-one who has been near Evra’s ­consistency – no-one!

“We have done ­remarkably well to be in the picture ­despite the handicaps of the back four players being ­injured.”
