Manchester United are now in talks to sign up experienced Premier League defender

It has been claimed that Manchester United re back in talks with Jonny Evans about extending his stay at Old Trafford.

Evans is out of contract this summer after returning to United on a one-year deal last summer and went on to make 30 appearances including as a substitute in the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.

The Northern Ireland star is out of contract, but United fancy keeping him, partly due to a limited budget for new signings and have reportedly been urging him to stay at the club for at least one more season, according to the SUN.

The 36-year-old has had talks over a new Man United deal, but recently admitted that he does not know what the future holds and if he will be staying at the Manchester Giants this summer transfer window.

“I don’t know,” Evans said when asked about his contract. “It’s still early days. The season has just finished and I think the day after the cup final I flew straight to Palma and spent a week here and then met up with the (Northern Ireland) squad in Murcia.

“Now we are back in Palma (to play Spain) so I’ve been on the go. I’ve wanted to just concentrate on these two games and meet up with the lads. Once I go back and everything settles down a bit I’m sure I’ll have more conversations with the club.”

Asked how much longer he wanted to play on for club and country, the 106-cap defender said: “I don’t know if the question is want. The answer to that is you want to play forever.

“Everyone who plays football, in the moment there’s nothing better. It’s more about how things transpire. So many things have to go into it, your fitness, your age becomes a part of it.

‘But if I could answer that, you want to play on for the rest of your life.”
