Corry Evans is a strong and consistent performer, equally adept at playing in the heart of midfield or defence, or on either flank.

But while versatility has been a major asset for the younger brother of emerging first-team talent Jonny, Corry settled and excelled at centre-back for United's Reserves in the 2008/09 campaign, making 22 appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

The Belfast-born youngster, who moved to England with his family when Jonny came over to join United's Academy, has followed in the footsteps of his sibling in progressing through the Reds' youth

ranks.

In the Under-18s, Corry was a mainstay in central midfield, but his strength in the tackle, reading of the game and ability on the ball also appear perfectly suited to playing at the back, which is why he was shortlisted by his coaches for the Reserves Player of the Year accolade in 2008/09.

Corry signed professional forms on 18 August 2009 and was handed the no.31 shirt.
