Jonny Evans made his first start for Manchester United since March 2015.
Man United fans on social media praised the 35-year-old's outing as they made their feelings known.
One X user wrote:"I wasn’t familiar with his game... I saw in him the fighting spirit from the old Manchester United."A third added:"Looked twice the player Martinez has been this season."Another commented:"Brought the old mentality to the team... a leader."Speaking after the result, Fernandes and Evans spoke to TNT Sports, where the Man United captain was named the Player of the Match."The club has quality defenders," said Evans.
"You want to be successful and win games but you’ve got to earn clean sheets and I was pleased tonight."I wasn’t able to finish the match but it was just as good seeing Andre [Onana] catch that one at the end and the relief at the final whistle."He could keep his place in the side when the Red Devils return to action next Tuesday when they host Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup.
