Man United defender Jonny Evans has added some valuable experience to the squad since returning to Old Trafford in the summer.
Centre-back Jonny Evans has admitted that he was 'proud' to be part of Dan Gore's Manchester United debut last month.
The midfielder, who turned 19 the same day, had impressed at various junctures during pre-season and had been knocking on manager Erik ten Hag's door in pursuit of a first taste of senior football. He stepped onto the field of play alongside Evans, with the defender replacing Raphael Varane.READ MORE: Richard Arnold responds to United fan request for takeover update
