Evra eyeing top spot with Man Utd

Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra is eyeing the Premier League leadership after victory over Wigan Athletic.

The weekend panned out rather well for the Reds, with Arsenal and Chelsea both suffering defeats, which has given United great incentive for the weeks ahead.

"I remember saying before the game that if we beat Wigan and Blackburn we would be top of the league, and I am still confident of that," Evra told MUTV.

"But I think the team can give much more than we are giving right now. We are still at the top of the league, but against Blackburn we need to play from the first minute, not just at the end of the game. We have looked like we have lots of chances in the last 20 minutes of games. But we are Manchester United and we need to be more aggressive and score more goals - and to bring back the way United play always."
