Manchester United is on the brink of finalizing a deal with former Leicester City defender, Jonny Evans.
The 35-year-old impressed during the pre-season under manager Erik ten Hag, catching the attention of the club’s insiders and sparking discussions about an extended stay at Old Trafford.
Evans, who came through United’s academy and made nearly 200 appearances for the first team before joining West Bromwich Albion in 2015, was part of the squad that secured three Premier League titles and the Champions League during his initial stint with the Red Devils.
The Red Devils’ insiders are optimistic about Evans’ future with the club and are even anticipating a longer contract offer based on his exceptional performances during pre-season. Steven Davis, Evans’ Northern Ireland teammate, praised his qualities and experience, expressing confidence that the defender could extend his stay beyond the pre-season.
The exact length of Evans’ potential contract with Manchester United remains uncertain, with some sources suggesting a one-year deal while others hinting at a more extended agreement. Nonetheless, the club is expected to make a decision soon, and fans are eager to see Evans’ future with the Red Devils clarified.
Next on the agenda for Manchester United is a pre-season friendly against Lens at Old Trafford on August 5, where fans might get a glimpse of Evans in action as he continues to impress during his comeback with the club.
