Manchester United have completed the short-term signing of their former defender Jonny Evans. The club has announced they had re-signed Evans, 35, on a short term deal after he had trained with the club’s Under-21s following his departure from Leicester City at the end of the 2022-23 season.

According to the statement, Evans has impressed impressed Erik ten Hag and other coaches and has been involved in first team sessions too. He is now set to be included in United’s squad for their upcoming pre-season friendly against Lyon at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, before flying out to San Diego with the club’s academy on pre-season tour. Defenders Tyrell Malacia and Rhys Bennett are both ruled out of the upcoming trips to Scotland and the USA due to injury.

It is not yet clear whether Evans will remain with United on a longer term basis. He’s been heavily linked with Everton and Celtic but will don the United shirt against Lyon for the first time since 2015. Manchester United will take on Lyon in Edinburgh on July 19 – the club’s first game in Scotland for 13 years.
