'The club looked after me' - Jonny Evans attended two massive games as a Manchester United fan last season
05.09.2023 - 18:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has revealed he attended the Reds' two cup finals last season and says he is delighted to be back with the club.
After leaving United in 2015 after a nine-year stint with the Reds, Evans returned to the North West on a short-term contract in the summer. Initially, Erik ten Hag signed him to feature in the summer tour of the US which would allow him to take up a senior role model position while also helping the 35-year-old remain fit after leaving Leicester City.
However, the deal became permanent on deadline day as United scrambled to find cover for their defence at short notice. Evans made his second debut for the club at the weekend when he came off the bench against Arsenal.
Discussing his return to Old Trafford, Evans told the club's official website ties between himself and United remained strong even after his departure. He explained: "I’ve been a Man United fan since I can remember, and I was still able to come to some of the games, you never lose that, and I experienced that when I went to other clubs.

"Players always have their teams that they grew up supporting when they were a kid and Man United was it for me. There were still big connections with the club, with my wife obviously working for MUTV and working for the club in different parts, so there's always been that connection for me.
"And even while I was away, I was able to come back and watch some games. I got to both cup finals last year and the club looked after me. So, it was great to go and watch those games and see the club win the League Cup, which was a great experience."
Now back in the United ranks after an eight-year absence, Evans is hoping
