Man Utd battled to a hard-fought point at Aston Villa as they kept a clean sheet in what was a dogged defensive performance.
It can often be the gesture of a team at breaking point, a final show of public defiance when behind the scenes the walls are crumbling. For the first time this season, in the 11th game they have played, Manchester United's players came together for a pre-match huddle at Villa Park.
United's players gathered near the centre circle for their show of unity but when Bruno Fernandes won the toss and told Villa to attack the Holte End in the first half, they had to move positions. Fernandes then joined the group and a few messages were relayed. "I don’t know who organised that, it wasn’t planned so I’m guessing it was Bruno," Evans said after the goalless draw.
As a United stalwart in his second spell at the club, he is one of the most experienced voices in the dressing room. Since the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham this has been a squad and manager under pressure, but Evans said it was about showing a response on the pitch rather than any significant meetings at Carrington in the week.
