Man United defender Jonny Evans admits he was 'not up to scratch' in Northern Ireland's 4-2 loss to Slovenia - as he struggles to bounce back after suffering defeat in his second Red Devils debut against Arsenal

Manchester United's new signing Jonny Evans has admitted his performance in Northern Ireland's loss to Slovenia on Thursday was 'not up to scratch'.

Michael O'Neill's men were beaten 4-2 in Ljubljana, with the loss all but confirming they won't qualify for Euro 2024.

Andraz Sporar opened the scoring inside three minutes, with Isaac Price levelling for Northern Ireland before goals from Petar Stojanovic and Benjamin Sesko put the hosts 3-1 up at half-time.

Despite Evans scoring in the second half, Sporar's second goal of the match put the game out of Northern Ireland's reach.
