The Red Devils young academy product will return to Old Trafford for first time since 2015

Jonny Evans has signed a short term one-year contract with his boyhood team Manchester United, where he spent 9 years from 2006 to 2015.

The veteran defender spent the pre-season with the Red Devils and impressed manager Erik Ten Hag.

The 35-year had a highly successful spell with United, clinching three Premier League titles, two League Cups and the Champions League. He has made 198 appearances for the club, scoring 7 times.

Evans departed in 2015 to West Bromich Albion before joining Leicester in 2018. He became the Foxes’ captain, making 121 appearances for them, before his contract expired this summer as the team got relegated to the Championship.

“I am delighted to join Manchester United, a place which has always felt like home.” Evans said.

“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.”
