Having come through United's academy and spent an initial nine-year spell in the Red Devils' first team between 2006 and 2015, Evans returned as cover for Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof last ye🌳ar.

With all four of those players enduring injury-hit 2023-24 seasons, Eva𒆙ns played a far more prominent role than expected as United finishe▨d eighth in the Premier League.

The 36-year-old made 30 appearanceꦏs across all competitions, including coming off the bench in May's FA Cup final victory over rivals Manchester City.

Evans has now won every domestic trophy with United, having claimed three Premier League titles and two EFL Cups during his♌ first stint with the club.

Speaking to the club's website after pennཧing his extension, Evans saiꦓd: "I am delighted to have extended my contract at Manchester United for another season.

"To play for this great club and feel the support from our i🏅ncredible fans is always🌱 a privilege.

"Returning to the club last sea෴son was an honour; representing the team on the♊ pitch alongside fantastic team-mates under an excellent manager.

"Winning the FA Cup together was an unforgettable experience; I know we can challen🔴ge for more trophies in the season ahead."
