Evans still in United contract talks

Jonny Evans is still talking to Manchester United about a new contract.

The Northern Ireland defender's one-year deal expired at the end of last month but United confirmed discussions were ongoing about extending his stay at Old Trafford when they announced their retained list.

There is still no agreement but BBC Sport has been told both sides remain hopeful of a positive resolution.

Evans initially came in last season to bolster Erik ten Hag's squad for the opening pre-season friendlies, so it will be interesting to see if there is any breakthrough before Monday's trip to Norway to face Rosenborg.

United then play Rangers at Murrayfield on 20 July before flying to the United States for a three-match tour that includes games against Arsenal and Liverpool.
