The former United Academy graduate has been capped 102 times for Northern Ireland.

In his previous spell at Old Trafford, he won three Premier League titles, two League Cups and also the FIFA World Club Championship.

Evans originally signed a short-term deal with the club but proved to Ten Hag that he was worthy of a contract until the end of the 2023/2024 season. 

This was just one of many signings for the club on what was a busy transfer deadline day. Explore more: Deadline Day September 2023 transfers (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com)

Let's explore the best reaction

Liam, a Manchester United Season Ticket holder, told us: "I don't care how old he is, this is a great signing for us. He has a lot of experience and will make a difference as we try and see matches out."

Olivia T, a Manchester United fan from Chorlton, said: "“This club and the fans have shaped Evans and as a person since he was 15 years old, and the player must delighted to be back where it all began as part of this squad. From a wider perspective, I'm not sure this is a great move for the club. There must have been younger options available. What about Mengi who has just signed for Luton Town?"

On the Red Cafe Manchester United forum, one fan spoke about the wider implications for the squad and the impact it might have on Harry Maguire: "I always figured we were kepeing him around in case Maguire leftat the last minute and we didn't have time to replace. It will be interesting to see where both of these players are in the pecking order."

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
