Manchester United's 2013 Premier League championship generation were without members last week when David De Gea officially left the team. However, two days ago, the "Red Devils" suddenly announced an indefinite contract (about 10 days) with ex-boyny Evans. The Northern Irish star returned to his old shirt 5 years after leaving to play for Leicester City - the team that just dropped out to play in the Championship.
According to a short-term commitment between the two sides, Evans will only play two matches, including a 1-0 win over Lyon in Norway and the upcoming match against Wrexham in the US. In the immediate future, the 3-year-old centre-back will be responsible for guiding the seniors and passing on experience to the young players of Carrington. In fact, Evans and Man United do not need to sign a contract that meets all the usual requirements at this time. Evans returns through an agreement with former teammate Darren Fletcher.
For Evans personally, this is a very good opportunity. He returned to Carrington last week to train and traveled to the US with the team. After Leicester were relegated and have no plans to play in pre-season, being trained and playing against Man United will help Evans maintain his fitness. If the "Red Devils" coaching staff see Evans showing many positive signs during this time, a lightning-fast transfer could be carried out.
When taking the team on a summer tour in 2023, Ten Hag had 3 central defenders in hand after Rhys Bennett was injured. This is a period of heating up people, so it is not advisable for Lisandro Martinez and Rafael Varane to work hard, easily causing unnecessary injuries. In each of these friendly matches, Ten Hag wants to divide the squad into two groups so that each half is 11 different factors. With this situation, he does not have enough personnel in the center-back position. It is not ruled out that Evans will continue to be given opportunities throughout his tour in the US.
Whether Evans is considered by M.U to sign a long-term contract or not depends entirely on the central defender's ability to meet the professional requirements. Last season, the Northern Irish star only played 14 matches for Leicester due to a thigh injury. If Evans is in the best physical condition for the next few days, Man United will also have to consider the number of players in the center-back position. In the context of Harry Maguire not being ready to leave, if he had another Evans, the "Red Devils" could fall into a surplus crisis.
There is another suggestion for Evans' case with M.U if they use the same approach applied to Tom Huddlestone. The former Fulham star also signed a short-term contract last season, becoming a player in the youth team but participating in coaching work. Before next season, he re-signed to do the same job. At Carrington, there are always short-term positions like that.
