Manchester United have re-signed veteran defender Jonny Evans, 36, for another year. Initially brought back as a last-ditch backup, Evans became crucial due to a defensive injury crisis, making 30 appearances across all competitions last season, including the FA Cup final win over Manchester City.
Despite limited transfer funds, the club rewarded Evans with a new contract until the summer of 2025. The club’s announcement highlighted his valuable contributions and reaffirmed his place in the team. Evans expressed his delight, saying, “To play for this great club and feel the support from our incredible fans is always a privilege. Returning last season was an honor; winning the FA Cup together was unforgettable.”
New defensive signings are anticipated, with Matthijs de Ligt close to joining from Bayern Munich and ongoing pursuits of Leny Yoro and Jarrad Branthwaite. Meanwhile, Raphael Varane has left upon his contract’s expiry, and Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof are linked with potential moves away. Additionally, Donny van de Beek has moved to Girona for up to £7.6 million, while Joshua Zirkzee is set for a big-money transfer from Bologna.
