Report: Manchester United lining up move for Leicester City centre-back Jonny Evans

According to The Sun, Manchester United are keeping an eye on the contract situation of Leicester City centre-back Jonny Evans ahead of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils want a new left-sided center-back as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to bolster his defensive ranks, and the 32-year-old is on his radar.

Evans has around seven months left on his current contract at Leicester, and while he wants an extension, both parties haven’t been able to reach an agreement.

He can leave the King Power Stadium for a fee in January or free next summer, and Man Utd have identified him as a possible cut-price transfer option should he become available on the market.
