Why Jonny Evans is training with Manchester United
15.07.2023 - 11:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Jonny Evans is training with Manchester United as he looks to maintain his fitness following the expiry of his contract with Leicester.
Evans, 35, arrived for training at Carrington on Saturday and the Manchester Evening News understands the defender has been training with the team for the past week as he considers his options for the new season.
The defender came through the club's academy before leaving in 2015.

It's understood Evans has spent time training with both the academy and the first-team group and sources have indicated it has benefited both parties, with the player using the facilities 'while lending his quality and experience' at Carrington.
A club source has said it's 'part of the club philosophy that former players are always welcome back', particularly those who came up through the academy, and Evans' presence has been considered helpful for younger players.
Evans made over 100 appearances for United and he won three Premier League titles, two League Cups and the Champions League during his time spent in Manchester, making his first-team debut in September 2007.
The centre-back has since added an FA Cup win to his cabinet after winning the competition with his former club Leicester. Evans spent five years with the Foxes, but he left the King Power Stadium this summer after the expiry of his contract.
Evans still lives locally and his wife, Helen Evans, works for the club's in-house broadcaster MUTV as a presenter.
