Man United's decision to re-sign Jonny Evans on a free has been fully justified this season.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag saluted centre-back Jonny Evans after he produced a solid showing in Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton at Old Trafford.
The former Leicester City man, who returned to Old Trafford on a free transfer last September after spending the summer at Carrington to maintain his fitness levels, was once again tasked with starting in the heart of the back-four as a result of United's defensive injury problems. Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez remain absent.
"As you see, his performance across the season, he's such an important player for this squad. always be there when he's needed and give good performances." Evans is not the future of United at the age of 36, but the decision to sign him on a free transfer has proved to be a wise and sensible one, even if he was only originally expected to make a handful of appearances. His experience has helped the Reds at key moments.
