Evans wants role in league finale

Jonny Evans has progressed so far at Manchester United he will be genuinely disappointed if he is axed for the final game of the season.

With Rio Ferdinand now recovered from the groin injury that has kept him out for a month and in need of some match practice ahead of his expected call up to England's World Cup squad, Alex Ferguson is set to name his first choice defensive pairing for only the 15th time this season when his side entertain Stoke tomorrow.
