Jonny Evans joins Manchester United on short-term deal | IFA

“The Academy graduate had been training with the Under-21s whilst considering his options, following his departure from Leicester City at the end of last season.

“As part of the Academy training programme, he has also taken part in a number of first-team sessions and impressed Erik ten Hag and the coaching staff.”

The cultured defender played 198 games and scored seven goals between 2007 and 2015 before leaving Old Trafford and signing for West Bromwich Albion for a fee in the region of £6 million.

During that first spell with United, Evans, who last month made his 102nd appearance for Northern Ireland, won a Champions League, three League titles, two League Cups and a FIFA Club World Cup.
