Manchester United defender Jonny Evans believes that he and his teammates can bounce back from their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on New Year's Day.

The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 loss to the London club at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday.

"I thought we did enough to have got something out of the game," he told MUTV. "We put them under a lot of pressure without creating too many clear-cut chances and they defended well.

"Their goals came from nowhere, really – they had two breaks on us that left us open. It's disappointing but we'll keep plugging away.

"We've started the New Year on a bad note but we'll keep trying to get results. In the last six games we've played quite well and controlled matches – we have to keep at that."

United are currently seventh in the league table with 34 points from 20 matches.
