Man Utd sign Evans
Manchester United have signed Jonny Evans on a one-year contract.
It’s the 35-year-old defender’s second spell at Old Trafford having already played 198 first-team games for the club.
“I am delighted to join Manchester United, a place which has always felt like home,” said Evans.
“This club and the fans have shaped me as a player and as a person since I was 15 years old, and I am delighted to be back where it all began as part of this talented squad.
“I’ve really enjoyed working under the manager and his coaching staff since the start of pre-season, and I’m looking forward to helping this group achieve success together at this fantastic football club.”
