Football

On May 31 local time, Manchester United club officially announced that veteran Johnny Evans will officially end his career.

and Manchester United reversed Hong Kong 3-1, becoming the last game for 37-year-old Evans to wear a Manchester United jersey.

After the end of last week's Premier League season, Manchester United had officially announced that the contracts of Evans, Lindelof and Erikson have expired and left the team this summer, but Evans still did not care about his hard work to attend the Asian tour of the club.

Evans comes from a Manchester United fan family in Northern Ireland. He entered the Red Devils youth training academy at the age of 10 and completed his first team debut in 2007.

In order to impress Sir Ferguson when signing, Evans revealed that he once told a small lie claiming that he had won the 100-meter sprint championship at school. This short story has also become an interesting memory for him and Manchester United.

played for Manchester United for two periods, Evans made a total of 241 appearances and scored 8 goals. During his first time (2007-2015), Evans won 3 Premier League championships, 1 Champions League championship, 1 Club World Cup championship, and 1 League Cup championship. In the 2012-13 season, Evans and Ferdinand partnered with the Red Devils to start the central defender, helping Manchester United win the latest Premier League championship. As a defender that season, he scored 4 goals, accounting for half of the Red Devils' career goals.

In the summer of 2015, Evans was sold to West Brom by Van Gaal. He played in the Bloomers for three seasons, making 98 appearances and contributing 5 goals and 5 assists. From 2018 to 2023, Evans played for Leicester City and helped Fox City win the first FA Cup championship in team history in 2021. In the summer of 2023, Evans and the Blue Foxes expired. During their training at Carrington Base, Evans' performance was recognized by then-head coach Tenhager. The veteran was able to return to the Red Devils and contribute to the team's journey to win the FA Cup last season. The retirement of "Team Grass" means that no active Manchester United player has won the Premier League championship, and all the teams that won the Premier League championship in 2013 have left the team. The Red Devils have no player who has played for Sir Ferguson. The Ferguson era has since become a historical memory.

Evans's wife, Helen Evans, who is also a host of Manchester United TV, posted a post to thank Manchester United fans for their support.

"After 12 years, our family has three more children, and the overtime of Evans is over! Manchester United fans are the best fans in the world."

Helen posted photos of Evans' curtain call at Old Trafford, and she was such a cute couple.
