Manchester United 'eye shock move to bring Jonny Evans BACK to Old Trafford'... with the defender's Leicester contact set to expire in seven months

Jonny Evans could be going back to his roots next summer, with his boyhood club Manchester United reportedly plotting to resign the defender.

The Northern Irishman played 198 matches for United after rising through their academy, leaving for West Brom in 2015.

Evans earned praise for a rock solid season at Leicester last term, playing every Premier League match as a key man in Brendan Rodgers' side, falling painfully short of Champions League qualification.

Despite his impressive 2019-20 Evans is yet to agree a new deal at the King Power, with just seven months remaining on his contact and little more than a month until he can open discussions elsewhere for a free transfer next summer.
