Manchester United Treble winner Peter Schmeichel says manager Erik ten Hag was proven right going with Jonny Evans at Aston Villa yesterday.
Ten Hag chose the centre-half pairing of Evans and Harry Maguire ahead of Lisandro Martinez and Matthijs de Ligt for the 0-0 draw. While Maguire was forced off injured, Evans was named man-of-the-match.

Schmeichel told BBC Sport: "I've said this for a long, long time, they are the best two centre-halves we have got.
"The only reason he's (Evans) not playing every game is that he picks up injuries.
"He was absolutely outstanding yesterday."
