Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has now updated the public on his expectations for the summer transfer of Jonny Evans.

Who is Man United bringing on board this summer?

Benjamin Pavard of Bayern Munich has been in contact with Man United, who are still looking for a new center-back. Ten Hag recently promised Pavard that he will start every game at Old Trafford in an effort to win the competition for his services.

The 27-year-old wants to join the Red Devils this summer, according to transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano, but they are keeping their options open after recently getting in touch over a deal for OGC Nice’s Jean-Clair Todibo.

United scouts have been dispatched to investigate the 23-year-old, but Pavard continues to be their “priority,” and Ten Hag recently stated he is content with the choices he currently has.

After Harry Maguire’s transfer to West Ham United fell through, the Dutchman was quoted by Wales Online as stating, “I am delighted he is here, we need a good squad. I am happy he is here.

We have five good centre backs, including Luke Shaw, and we need them because we’ll play 50 to 60 games this year. Since every player is an international, we have a heavy responsibility to carry.

“I am pleased to see Harry Maguire here. He will have to compete for his job just like the rest of the group does.

The 53-year-old has now revealed that he is chasing a permanent move for Evans, who signed a short-term contract in the preseason, despite the fact that he already has a number of centre backs at his disposal.

He is not now (on contract), but we are speaking, according to Ten Hag. We’ll find out. We are in discussions, and we will update you when we have news.

When was Jonny Evans born?

The former Leicester City defender, who is now 35 years old, had a successful Premier League career, appearing in 356 games while playing for United, Sunderland, Leicester, and West Bromwich Albion.

As a result, it is clear that the Northern Irishman won’t be a long-term member of Ten Hag’s squad, but his knowledge of the game might be very helpful in the locker room, and he could be a respectable option to have in cup competitions.

If the 6 foot 2 defender is willing to accept a sporadic position in the team, he might participate in the early rounds of the EFL and FA Cup this season as United are expected to have a hectic fixture schedule now that they are back in the Champions League.

Journalist Matthew Law pushed the Manchester United to re-sign Jonny Evans at the end of July, saying: “Would take Jonny Evans back for the season in an absolute heartbeat.” Simple decision. Excellent centre defender, a doer, and a victor.

Evans, who was praised as “outstanding” by the media, evidently impressed the Man United manager during preseason, and he could be a wise addition to the team if he is given a one-year contract with minimal pay.
