Man United sign Jonny Evans, 35, on shock short-term deal to add to centre back options in pre-season... with Harry Maguire not back yet and linked with a move after losing captaincy

Jonny Evans has been named in Manchester United's squad for their pre-season friendly with Lyon tomorrow after signing a short-term deal with his former club.

Evans is currently a free agent after leaving Leicester at the end of last season following their relegation from the Premier League.

He has been training with United's Under-21s as he ponders his next move, and has impressed Erik ten Hag's coaching staff.

The 35-year-old has been rewarded with a short-term contract that will make him available for United's pre-season clash with Lyon tomorrow afternoon in Edinburgh.
