Manchester United defender Jonny Evans believes Michael Owen is proving at Old Trafford he remains a class act.
Owen, a surprise signing from Newcastle in the summer, scored his third goal of the season in the Carling Cup victory against Barnsley at Oakwell. It was a clinical finish as he foxed goalkeeper Luke Steele after he made the most of a delightful ball from Fabio.
Evans said: "Every time Michael comes on he gets into really good positions. He changed the game a bit for us on Sunday. It was the first time we really looked like getting in behind Liverpool."
He added: "It was good for him against Barnsley to get another goal. It was a great finish from him. He made it look easy by passing the ball into the corner."
Evans is also predicting a bright future for 18-year-old striker Danny Welbeck, who opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
Welbeck came off in the second half and is having a scan on the knee injury he suffered.
Evans said: "Danny is improving all the time and learning from the first team lads.
"He is a fantastic talent and can go all the way. He is so hard to play against. He has great skill as well."
