Jonny Evans set to leave Man United in the summer, West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield United chasing his signature
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is planning a clearout in the summer and Jonny Evans is one high-profile name on that list.
The Northern Ireland veteran signed for a second time with the Red Devils last summer and initially, it looked like he would provide backup while providing experience in the dressing room.
Instead, due to multiple injuries, Evans ended up making 30 appearances last season and won the FA Cup as well. Erik ten Hag also used him seven times in the current campaign before his sacking.
Amorim, however, handed him two appearances and realised that the 37-year-old struggles in his high-intensity system and since then, the three-time Premier League winner has not made another appearance.
Evans set to leave
His contract is up in the summer and there are no plans of offering him another new deal but the centre-back still has no plans of hanging up his boots just yet.
Birmingham World have relayed that two Championship clubs who are fighting for promotion to the English top-flight are eyeing the Carrington graduate on a free deal.
Evans’ former club West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United are the two sides interested in the defender and both are looking to agree a pre-contract with the United No 35.
The Baggies are sixth in the standings while the Blades are third and irrespective of whether they get promoted or not, they feel Evans is the right fit who can add quality to the backline as well as a ton of experience.
Championship duo chasing him
He has 96 appearances for West Brom and manager Tony Mowbray wants to add a couple of veterans to his team and the United star fits the bill.
The Northern Ireland international is a proven winner and has won the Champions League winner as well as all domestic honours with the Red Devils.
It was a surprise to see him rejoin his boyhood club last summer but he certainly impressed and earned yet another contract extension last summer. But his road is set to end here with Amorim not really counting on him.
Evans had offers from Rangers and Saudi Arabia but he chose to stay. It will be interesting to see where he lands up at the end of the campaign.
