Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has stated that he wants to win the Capital One Cup with the Red Devils who have been given a boost in confidence after beating Liverpool 1-0 in Wednesday’s round. Sky Sports reports.

Mexican striker Javier Hernandez found the back of the net for United giving his team something to cheer about after the 4-1 drubbing at the hands on cross-town rivals Manchester City.

Evans made his first appearance for United this season and confessed that he wants nothing more than his team to win the trophy.

He told Sky Sports 1: “We want to win it. It was the first trophy I won and it was a great feeling to win it then.

“It’s a competition we want to win, we will be taking it seriously. I think the fans enjoyed it, we certainly enjoyed it.

“It was a hard game, Liverpool have been playing expansive football. I am just glad we got the goal after half-time and held on.

“They put out a strong team. There were a lot of lads out there who haven’t had a lot of football and were getting a bit tired towards the end.”

Evans’s teammate Chris Smalling echoed his statements and stated that the win eased the wounds inflicted by Manchester City.

“It was a massive turnaround,” Smalling said.

“It was a big stage for us to go out there. There was a lot of doubt at the weekend, we needed to go out and put on a performance.”

For the England defender, the intensity of the game was reminiscent of the Premier League.

He said: “I felt like it was end to end for pretty much 90 minutes. It shows we can go out there on the big occasion and produce.”

United face Norwich in the next round of the Capital One Cup and are set to play West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League this Saturday.
