Return to Old Trafford: The stopper returns after eight years

Jonny Evans returned to Manchester United after eight years, the English club announced today on its official website.

As it was announced, the experienced 35-year-old defender signed a contract with the leaders of the club for which he played from 2006 to 2015 until the end of the season.

Evans arrived at Old Trafford as a free agent after his contract with Leicester City expired in June.

The Northern Ireland representative played 198 games in all competitions in his first term at Manchester United and scored seven goals.

With the Red Devils, he won the Champions League, three Premier Leagues, the World Club Championship and two League Cups.
