JONNY EVANS has revealed his kids cannot believe he has had more than one spell at Manchester United.
The defender returned to the club on a one-year deal this summer – eight years after leaving Old Trafford.

Evans, 35, came through United’s academy before making 198 appearances for the club, through which he met his wife Helen McConnel who worked as a MUTV presenter.
But he revealed it is difficult for his three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren – Lottie, 9, Heidi, 6 and Eli, 3 – to believe him, despite winning three Premier League titles with the Red Devils.
Evans told ManUtd.com: “I think they know I used to play for United, but I don’t think they believe me in that sense.
“It’s nice that they’re going to be able to watch me.
“My eldest was actually 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 during my last season at the club [2014-15] so it’d be nice to be able to take them to Old Trafford and for the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to see their dad running out at Old Trafford would be something special for any 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.
“So, I’m really fortunate and lucky that I get to do that.”
Evans’ United return got off to a nightmare start against Arsenal on Sunday and fans were scathing of his second debut.
The Northern Ireland international deflected Declan Rice’s shot into the back of his own net to give Arsenal the lead in stoppage time.
He then played Gabriel Jesus onside as the last defender, allowing the Brazilian through on goal to add a third for the Gunners which wrapped up the match.
Evans joined West Brom after leaving the Red Devils in 2015, before a switch to Leicester three years later where he won the FA Cup in 2021.
