Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has revealed that he is pleased with his side's start to the season.

The Red Devils are currently second in the Premier League table on goal difference after Boxing Day's 5-0 win against Wigan Athletic.

"Compared to last year, the start we've had has been a lot better," Evans told Sky Sports News.

"We've picked up more wins already away from home than we did last year.

"The teams we dropped points against last season away from home we've managed to beat this season, picking up points at places where we've previously found it really difficult."

United continue their league campaign on New Year's Eve against Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford.
