He re-joined United on a short-term deal earlier this summer to play on United's pre-season tour, with a full one-year contract close to being signed. Evans, who started his career at Old Trafford, has made nearly 600 first-team appearances for club and country during his career. He's won 11 trophies during his career, including three Premier League titles with United and the 2021 FA Cup with Leicester. United are expected to announce the signing of Evans in very soon, although they are in no rush to get the deal completed due to the player being a free agent. The Northern Ireland international is fit and raring to go after completing a full pre-season. United provided an update on Varane's injury on Wednesday morning. It's unclear exactly what problem the Frenchman has picked up, but his employers have confirmed it will keep him out for a "few weeks" - once the international break has been and gone. Although Varane's injury is only minor, his fitness record shows United can't rely on him. Varane played just 46 Premier League games during his first two seasons at Old Trafford. He's also now on the wrong side of 30 after celebrating his birthday in April. United do have other centre-backs at their disposal, such Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire. Yet Martinez is a left-sided defender, meaning Lindelof and Maguire){kind=link}
