Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has said that a win in his first Premier League game will be of utmost importance to new manager David Moyes.
The 50-year-old Scot, who has replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in the dugout, got his Red Devils career off to the best possible start with a 4-1 win over Swansea City on Saturday.
However, with Chelsea visiting on Monday the former Everton boss will get his first big test against a rival opponent.
"It's always important to get a good start to the season, especially when it's the manager's first competitive home game," Evans told reporters. "We need to get off to a good start and put down a marker for the rest of the season."
A lot has been made of United's tough start to the campaign, but Ryan Giggs echoed Evans's words.
"In [Jose] Mourinho's first spell at Chelsea they got off to a good start and we didn't manage to catch them," he added. "It's been well documented we have got a tough start but we started well on Saturday and hopefully we can carry that on."
