Former Manchester United player Jonny Evans has made a triumphant return to Old Trafford after an eight-year absence. The announcement was made on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, through an official statement on the Red Devils’ website, coinciding with the release of their travelling squad for the preseason match against Lyon at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
The club statement confirmed that Evans will have the opportunity to participate in the team’s preseason games as they prepare for the upcoming 2023/24 season. This short-term deal marks a significant homecoming for the talented defender, who left Manchester United in 2015 to join West Brom. After a successful three-year stint at the Hawthorns, Evans then made a move to Leicester City in 2018.
Last season (2022/23), at the end of his contract with Leicester City, Evans became a free agent. Manchester United has now welcomed him back to the club, providing him with a chance to showcase his skills and contribute to their preseason preparations. This reunion with his former club holds special significance for Evans and is an exciting development for both the player and the fans.
The return of Jonny Evans to Manchester United adds depth and experience to the team’s defensive lineup. Having honed his skills and gained valuable experience during his time away, Evans is expected to make a valuable contribution to the squad. As the Red Devils gear up for the new season, the addition of Evans to the team highlights the club’s commitment to building a strong and competitive side.
Fans are eagerly anticipating Evans’ return to the Old Trafford pitch, and his presence will undoubtedly bring back fond memories of his previous successful spell with the club. The preseason games will serve as an opportunity for Evans to showcase his abilities and potentially earn a longer-term contract with Manchester United.
