Evans: Our aim is to win the FA Cup
Manchester United defender Gemma Evans has made one thing clear: our aim is to win the Adobe Women's FA Cup this season.
“Our aim is to win it,” the Wales international told club media, as we get for Sunday's fifth-round tie away to Southampton.
“We take each game as it comes and jump over [any] hurdle.”
Evans: We've got to rise to the challenge
Gemma Evans believes we must "rise to the challenge" to get past first-time opponents Southampton in the FA Cup...
“Wherever we go, we always hear the fans,” she said.
“It’s never like an away game.”
“That is something that we’ve got to rise to [the challenge], no matter where we play.
“I think our performances over the last few weeks have been getting better. As a group of girls we’re tight-knit and we’re a family so I think wherever we play we’ll perform to the best of our ability.”

But that hasn’t stopped a real unity shining through, with Evans adding: “Injuries can happen whenever so we need to keep pushing each other whether we’re playing or not.
“The ones not playing pushing the ones who are to be the best they can be, and to improve yourself. It’s been tough but we all push each other to our limits in a positive way.”
