在曼聯 U-18 隊以 2-0 贏得 FA Youth Cup 第三輪比賽後，
年輕的後衛 Jonny Evans 和 包辦兩球的前鋒 Sean Evans 希望能在這個重要賽事
繼續前進，為曼聯奪得冠軍。(兩人剛好同姓 不是親戚唷 :P)
United's Under-18s got off to a flying start in the FA Youth Cup
with a 2-0 win over Birmingham on Thursday, and two of the youngsters
are hoping to be a part of a trophy-winning team in the prestigious
youth tournament.
Defender Jonny Evans captained the side while striker Sean Evans
(the two aren't related) scored both goals in the victory.
The pair were pleased with the performance and are hoping to
become a part of United's illustrious history by being in the side
that lifts the trophy for a tenth time.
"Winning the trophy gets your name in Manchester United's history,"
17-year-old Jonny told MUTV.
"You've seen it down the years, the players that do well in this competition
invariably get chances in the first-team or end up playing regularly
for United.
"I think you could tell from the smiles on everyone's faces
that we were delighted to get through, even though it's just
the third round. Hopefully we can go on from here."
Having gone out of the competition at the third round stage last season
to Stoke City, Paul McGuinness' side were determined not to fall
at the first hurdle again this year.
Two-goal hero, Sean, said United had to overcome some early nerves
before they settled into an impressive passing display.
"There were a few nerves because we didn't want to get knocked out
in the third round like we did last year," said the 18-year-old striker.
"we created quite a few chances, but it was tough. Birmingham were
quick to close us down so we needed to play some good football to beat them.
"Once we scored, that settled us down and we could start playing football.
I thought we played well."
