As part of this new deal, Evans will work behind the scenes at the club's academy. He will be responsible for managing United's loan policy, overseeing young players who are temporarily playing for other clubs.

The club's management believes that this role will be a good fit for Evans. It will allow him to help bridge the gap between the academy and the senior team.

Jonny Evans is set to take over the position left vacant by Les Parry, who moved to a similar role in Saudi Arabia last November.

Evans will now be responsible for managing United's loan policy and overseeing the development of young players.

This new role will allow Evans to continue contributing to the club in a different way, even though he is no longer a player.
