Evans was given a chance alongside Rio Ferdinand against Everton.
“The manager made an awful lot of changes, including myself, and there were people who had not played for a while,” Evans said.
“It was a big gamble. I am sure some people thought that when they looked at the team sheet. But that is what the manager does and it has paid off.”
Evans also heaped praise on Javier Hernandez who scored the winnger against the Toffees.
“You could say that because of the number of important goals he has scored for us,” Evans continued.
“We got to see little glimpses of him during the World Cup and you could see he had pace, but no-one knew much about him.
“He reminds me of an old-fashioned type centre-forward. People don’t realise he is quite a strong lad with a great jump. Also, he knows where the goal is.”
