Manchester United are keeping their options open with Jonny Evans and are refusing to rule out the possibility of signing the veteran defender permanently, sources have told ESPN.
Evans has signed a short-term deal at Old Trafford to allow him to feature in the club’s preseason matches. He made his first United appearance for eight years in the 1-0 win over Lyon in Edinburgh on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old has not been picked to travel to New York with Erik ten Hag’s senior squad but will instead join a group of young players for the game against Wrexham in San Diego.
Sources have told ESPN that Ten Hag has been impressed with Evans after joining training sessions at Carrington and remains open-minded about whether there is a place for the centre-back in his squad for next season.
Evans is looking for a new club after leaving Leicester City following their relegation from the Premier League last season.
