Man Utd signing who gets 'unfair criticism' is proving Erik ten Hag right

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Despite a rocky season for Manchester United, Jonny Evans has proven to be a solid addition during these turbulent times. The 35-year-old Northern Irishman has become a dependable figure, even securing a starting centre-back position this season.

While Evans' skills may not match those of the league leaders, his experience brings valuable insight to the dressing room. He joined United on a free contract after the club offered him a short-term deal over the summer to keep fit, allowing him to wear the red shirt once more.

After a hard-working pre-season, Evans impressed Erik ten Hag, leading to a one-year contract offer from the club. Since rejoining, he's made 12 Premier League and two Champions League appearances, stepping up when United needed him most.
