Evans hoping for quarter-final showdown against Arsenal

JONNY EVANS would love to get a crack at Arsenal’s much-admired young Gunners in the Carling Cup quarter-finals.

While Arsene Wenger’s kids, led by 16-year-old Jack Wilshere, continue to sweep all before them, Manchester United’s stars of the future required a late Carlos Tevez penalty to dispose of QPR at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

It kept them on course for their first final appearance since hammering Wigan at the Millennium Stadium in 2006, but has led to nothing like the praise being heaped on Wenger’s Arsenal, who also included a player, Aaron Ramsey, United tried to sign last year.
