Manchester United defender Patrice Evra says
Wayne Rooney fully deserves his bumper wages, according to Skysports.
Rooney signed a new long-term contract with
United on Friday, and 24 hours later smashed in a brilliant goal, from Evra’s
cross, in the 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace.
The England international is reportedly being
paid £300,000 a week by United, making him the best-paid player in the Premier
League by some distance.
But left-back Evra says he is worth every penny.
“He deserved to have a big contract,” Evra said.
“I’m so happy for him because he is working hard, and it is a good sign for the
future of Manchester United, for the fans and for everyone.
“I’m really pleased with ‘Wazza’ because he
deserves it. What a great finish it was, my cross was not easy to take, but it
was a great volley.
“It was job done. It was really important, we
have had some bad results and we could not afford another defeat. I think we
saw a strong Manchester United, confident to play with the ball, and I’m really
pleased for all the lads.”
With the experienced duo Nemanja Vidic, who will
leave Old Trafford in the summer, and Rio Ferdinand back at the heart of the
defence, Evra believes the clean sheets can continue.
“We had a lot of experience, and when Rio came on
at Arsenal, I thought he was fantastic,” he added.
