Jonny Evans returns
Jonny Evans made his Manchester United debut under Sir Alex Ferguson and played a part in the club’s glory years, before he was sold by Louis van Gaal.
Evans made a stunning return to United under Erik ten Hag in 2023, signing for the club as a free agent, and went on to win the 2024 FA Cup.
He played under Ruben Amorim last season, before retiring from playing last summer.
Evans then started a role as United’s loans manager, before quitting on December 8. He left his role to spend more time with his family.
Now the lure of Manchester United has called again, answering an SOS to join Darren Fletcher in the dugout.
Under-21 boss Travis Binnion is also expected to be involved in the coaching set up.
Fletcher will hold his press conference ahead of the Burnley game at 5pm.
