Experienced defender Jonny Evans has signed a short-term deal that will see him play in Manchester United’s upcoming pre-season fixtures in Edinburgh and San Diego.
The Academy graduate was training with the Under-21s while considering his options, following his departure from Leicester City at the end of last season.
As part of the academy’s training programme, he also took part in a number of first-team sessions and impressed Erik ten Hag and the coaching staff.
Evans, who has been capped 102 times by Northern Ireland, will travel to Edinburgh with the squad that will face Lyon on Wednesday. Tickets are still available for the 3:00 p.m. (French time) kick-off at BT Murrayfield, which will also be shown live on MUTV.

Jonny will then join the Academy group which will travel to San Diego, while the first team will be in New York.
The centre-back made 198 appearances for the first team before leaving the club in 2015, having won the Champions League, Club World Cup, three Premier League titles and two League Cups.
The other defenders Tyrell Malacia and Rhys Bennett have picked up injuries which will unfortunately deprive them of the match once morest Lyon and the 2023 Tour in the United States.
