Veteran defender Jonny Evans has been testing the free-agent market for around two weeks. And has finally signed a deal to return to Manchester United for the 2024-25 season.

Back in the summer of 2023, Evans, whose contract with Leicester had expired. Only asked to come to train to maintain his fitness with the ‘Red Devils’. But in the end he impressed manager Erik ten Hag to the point of signing him for 1 season and was used in over 30 matches. Including the highlight as a substitute in the FA Cup final, defeating Man City 2-1 to win the championship UFABET 

The 36-year-old’s situation was initially unclear until Ten Hag’s future was known. Whether he would continue at Old Trafford or not. Until the board gave the green light. The benefits also reached the star player who was in need. 

“I am delighted to have signed a new contract to stay at Manchester United for another season,” he told the club’s official website. 

“Playing for a great club and experiencing the incredible support from the Red Army fans is always a privilege,” 

“I have to admit that it was an honour just to be back playing for our club last season. To represent the team on the pitch alongside an incredible teammate and a great manager.” 

“I won the FA Cup, it was an unforgettable experience. For the new season, I know that there will be many more trophies ahead.” 

Having Jonny Evans guaranteed to stay should provide some reassurance regarding reinforcements, while the main target is Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. Many parties are rushing to sign him.
