Manchester United are unlikely to have any problems in handing veteran defender Jonny Evans a new one-year contract. Following in the footsteps of back-up goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Sky Sports, a British media outlet reported that. Manchester United are in talks with Evans’ representatives. About extending his contract for another year or until the end of the 2024-25 season. And it is expected that there will be no problems UFABET
Jonny Evans returned to Manchester United on a free transfer last summer, initially thought to be a priority option. But manager Erik ten Hag has struggled with injuries throughout the season. With the 36-year-old centre-back making 23 Premier League appearances. The most of any centre-back in the club’s history.
Manchester United have just announced a one-year extension to back-up goalkeeper Heaton’s contract, with the 38-year-old returning to Old Trafford on a similar loan spell to Evans.
Heaton has now been called up by England manager Gareth Southgate to train alongside goalkeepers Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale and Dean Henderson at Euro 2024. To help pass on his experience to the younger generation.
Despite their advancing years, both stalwarts would like to keep playing and have no intention of hanging up their boots and gloves just yet. There were murmurs of a future coaching role in the pipeline but nothing has materialised yet.
