However, Evans thought his chances of winning silverware after leaving United were slim, as he explained this week.
"It is a really tough thing to come by, silverware," Evans admitted to The Times.
"Some players never get the chance to win things. We have been very lucky and fortunate. I am so grateful that I have been able to win a few things in my career - that is something you can always look back on.
"You sort of think those opportunities are gone. Myself and Darren Fletcher, at the time, we used to drive down from Manchester to West Brom and talk about that. The chances of winning cup competitions are really difficult.
"We knew the difference in opportunities - you probably don't realise it at the time when you are at such a big club. Whenever you leave a club like Manchester United, you realise your opportunities are going to be limited."
