"I think it'll be good to end the season with a big challenge for us, but it's one I like to think we're up to."
Evans commented on what is expected of the players by the manager and how the relationship between the squad and Van Gaal has remained strong despite poor form earlier in the season.
"We've always believed and he [Louis Van Gaal] has always believed in us. There are five games to go in the season and we've got to make sure we carry those standards on.
"We've been used to that over the years, having pressure, and, this time, it's to qualify for the Champions League."
