Manchester United's Jonny Evans not worried by tough start to season

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans insists that he is not worried by the club's tough opening run of fixtures for the new Premier League season.

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has insisted that he is not worried by the club's tough opening run of fixtures in the Premier League.

The English champions, who beat Swansea City 4-1 in their opening match of the campaign, face Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City in the next few weeks.

"It might not be a bad thing to get straight into the tough games," Evans told Inside United. "We've been waiting all summer to get stuck back into it, so why not bring on the hard games straight away?

"In any competition you always want a good start and the Premier League is no different. A winning start will obviously help you later on, but it's more important how you finish the season."

United play their first home game of the season on Monday when they welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford.
