Man Utd fullback Callum Evans happy LvG backing youth

Manchester United fullback Callum Evans is excited seeing manager Louis van Gaal tap the club's academy.

Evans has broken into the U21 squad this season.

"The new manager has given a lot of opportunities and Tyler [Blackett], for instance, is doing well," Evans told manutd.com.

"As a young player, you just hope for that opportunity. Of course, the first aim is to get into the Under-21 side regularly. It was a good feeling to come off the bench and help change the game against Manchester City in the final. We came away with the victory and I felt part of the team. Of course, you're still part of the team when you're not involved but you don't quite get the same sense of accomplishment."
