Defender Jonny Evans says it is "privilege" to continue playing for Manchester United after signing a new deal.

The 36-year-old has signed a one-year contract to keep him at Old Trafford until June 2025.

Evans, who came through the United academy, returned to the club last summer having spent eight years away in spells at West Bromwich Albion and Leicester City.

He featured regularly in United's defence last season as Erik ten Hag's side struggled with injuries, making 30 appearances, including as a substitute in the FA Cup final win over Manchester City.

"To play for this great club and feel the support from our incredible fans is always a privilege," Evans told club media.

"Returning to the club last season 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 challenge for more trophies in the season ahead."
