Man Utd invite three-time Premier League winner to train with them in Everton eye move

Jonny Evans is back in training with Manchester United eight years after the three-time Premier League winner left Old Trafford. The 35-year-old veteran is now a free agent following his release at Leicester City, although the Northern Irishman has had talks over the prospect of extending his stay at the King Power Stadium.

Evans is now seen as a possible option for Everton after fans noticed an interesting soundbite from one of the club's pre-season videos posted on their social media.

In the now-deleted clip, an Everton coach appeared to say, 'We have Jonny Evans coming in', in the background of the training footage.

Everton have already decided to sign veteran Ashley Young on a free transfer and now Evans could potentially follow, although it doesn't look like anything is imminent.

That's because Evans is back in training with his forearm employers United at Carrington as he tries to stay fit for the new season.

report that Evans trained with United last week to maintain his level of fitness.

He was there again at Carrington on Saturday as United players were put through their paces on the training ground.

Evans came through United's youth academy and would make 198 senior appearances for the club's first team, scoring seven goals.

The reliable centre-back also spent time with West Brom, Sunderland and Royal Antwerp in a career that saw him rack up 91 appearances for his country.

One of the unsung heroes of Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure has made an impressive 356 Premier League appearances and he could still have more to offer despite being at the end of his career.

Celtic would also be in the mix for the experienced centre-back as he looks to explore a new challenge.

His former side Leicester have already been busy in the transfer market after moving to sign former Wolves captain Conor Coady and Callum Doyle on loan from Manchester City.

Former City assistant manager Enzo Maresca tries to refresh his squad at the King Power Stadium, where a major clearance is expected.

Meanwhile, United have already played their first game of the pre-season after beating Leeds 2-0 in Oslo.

Erik ten Hag's side will face Lyon at Murrayfield in Edinburgh next week before leaving for the US tour.

This means Evans' training time with the club is likely to be coming to an end as United prepare to embark on their travels.

The Red Devils will face Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund in the United States before taking on Lens (Old Trafford) and Athletic Bilbao (Dublin) ahead of their Premier League opener against the Wolves.
