News about Jonny Evans

Manchester United's penalty shootout FA Cup semi-final win over Coventry City brought more questions than answers - both in terms of Erik ten Hag and his players.  This has been a season riddled by mistakes on and off the pitch for United and with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos team now assuming control of football operations, a summer shake-up feels inevitable.  United are looking to raise £100million through player sales and for some shown the door that will mean accepting a sizeable loss on their initial transfer outlay. Mail Sport runs through Manchester United's squad to work out who stays and who goes.

Erik ten Hag has made a huge decision to name a shock player in central defence for Man United's FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City.

CHRIS WHEELER: Harry Maguire is battling to be fit for Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final clash with Coventry at Wembley on Sunday as the club's defensive injury crisis bites deep. Manager Erik ten Hag is already without six senior defenders in Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Tyrell Malacia. He revealed that Maguire hasn't trained until Friday following last weekend's draw at Bournemouth when he played alongside teenager Willy Kambwala for the second game in a row.

Man United's treatment room has been one of the busiest in the Premier League this season but their injury woes seem to have remarkably continued this week, with Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans being added to their list of absentees. It's been an injury ravaged season for Erik ten Hag's side, and in the midst of a lack of defenders, the Dutchman has reportedly called an 18-year-old centre back up to train with the first-team squad ahead of their clash against Bournemouth.  On Thursday, the club announced that Varane and Evans would be unavailable for this weekend's fixture having both suffered muscle injuries. The France international is now set to be sidelined for a 'few weeks' after sustaining the injury during their 4-3 defeat by Chelsea, while Evans' return has not been confirmed but is not expected to be as serious. 

United go into Saturday's dinnertime clash at Bournemouth without six defenders, with Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Tyrell Malacia all sidelined. Maguire is expected to play alongside teenager Willy Kambwala again after Ten Hag was forced to resort to his 12th different centre-back pairing - and 28th back-four - of the season against Liverpool last weekend. The 31-year-old could have left United last summer.

Rashford limped out of last weekend's draw with Liverpool in the second half but trained at Carrington on Thursday and is in contention for the trip to the South Coast. Manager Erik ten Hag will also be without defenders Raphael Varane , Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans , Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. 'Rashy trained yesterday so we'll see how he recovered from it today,' said Ten Hag at his Friday press conference.

Following the club's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday, Erik ten Hag has confirmed he is considering his defensive options. Due to a pending injury crisis, the Dutchman was forced to deploy a rotated back four, severely restricting his options in defence. The match came just days after Jonny Evans became the club's new casualty and had to be recalled after arriving as a replacement against Chelsea.

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: Erik ten Hag bemoaned the "stupid mistakes" that cost Manchester United's floundering attempt for Champions League qualification. Despite being on alert for long stretches against Liverpool on Sunday, United's match ended in a 2-2 draw with Mo Salah's 84th minute penalty. United have dropped seven points from winning positions in the last week after conceding injury time in a 1-1 draw at Brentford and 4-3 loss at Chelsea, and are now 11 points behind Tottenham and Aston Villa in sixth position.

Manchester United's squad will face Liverpool on Sunday afternoon with a 17-year-old named in their squad. Erik ten Hag has been injured by a string of defensive injuries, prompting him to call on a member of the Under-18 team to join the first-team. Defenders Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof were both suspended for a month after suffering calf and hamstring injuries this week.

Manchester United will face Liverpool, one of Manchester's closest rivals, in Champions League football next season. In a 4-3 loss, Erik ten Hag's men sustained a humiliating blow at Chelsea on Thursday, conceding two goals deep into injury. To make it worse, three United players were forced to leave the team's excruciating injury problems this season.

Raphael Varane was forced to leave Chelsea against Chelsea before his replacement, Jonny Evans, was dealt with yet another injury blast. At Stamford Bridge, the former France national started the game but was replaced by Jonny Evans at halftime.

CHRIS WHEELER: English football has reached a tipping point in terms of the demands placed on Premier League players by a punishing schedule of club and international football, according to Erik ten Hag. After being sidelined again this week by Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof, Manchester United's second season at Old Trafford have struggled with a crippling injury list. At least, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, and Jonny Evans have returned to training to help with the defensive injuries ahead of Chelsea's match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

Manchester United's center-backs Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof were suspended for at least a month after suffering yet another injury blast. Martinez is facing a difficult blow particularly because he recovered from an eight-week layoff with knee ligament damage in Saturday's draw at Brentford, despite missing four months of the season due to foot surgery. On Tuesday, the talismanic Argentina defender, who appeared at the Gtech Community Stadium for his 11th appearance of the season, pulled a calf muscle in preparation at Carrington.

UNITED CONFIDENTIAL: Kobbie Mainoo has been on everyone's lips during the international break, and Confidential understands that Manchester United's teen star may be on the forefront of his meteoric ascension by signing a sponsorship contract with Nando's. And the highly trained Mainoo accepts the dish as a treat when he craves a change from his traditional rice and peas, and restaurant talks are reported to have taken place over a sponsorship agreement. After the 18-year-old midfielder made his senior England debut off the bench against Brazil on Saturday, Nando's will not be the only sponsors wanting to get on board with Mainoo, the 18-year-old midfielder's debut against Brazil on Saturday and is hoping for his first match against Belgium on Tuesday night.

Exclusive BY SIMON JONES: Lisandro Martinez, a defender for Manchester United, has been suspended from Argentina's national team and will return to England on Saturday. The offensive center-back was a surprise addition to Lionel Scaloni's squad's against El Salvador and Costa Rica in the United States as he has missed the last six weeks of action with United since suffering a knee injury against West Ham in February. Martinez trained with his Argentina teammates this week, but he has now returned to England to prepare fully for United's Premier League match against Brentford, where he hopes to make his comeback.

Erik ten Hag claims that his second season at Manchester United would have been much different if he hadn't been plagued by injuries. After struggling to build on a third-place finish and Carabao Cup triumph last season, the Dutchman is fighting to keep his job into the summer. Ten Hag believes that injuries to key players have made it impossible to maintain this momentum, with ten men ruled out of Saturday's match against Everton at Old Trafford.

BY CHRIS WHEELER: Manchester United's players are increasingly doubtful that manager Erik ten Hag will be in charge next season. Despite several rumors about the rigor of his training program, Ten Hag still has the support of the dressing room. However, Mail Sport understands that many in the United squad believe it is likely that new co-owners Ineos will make a change and fire the Dutchman after two years at the helm.

Manchester United players have reportedly challenged Erik ten Hag's training methods, with some claiming that the demanding tactic may be responsible for their injuries. On Sunday, United were without nine players for the Manchester derby, and ten Hag was forced to replace Marcus Rashford and Jonny Evans following the 3-1 loss at the Etihad due to injury fears. This season, United have seen 47 separate cases of injuries, which have resulted in players missing at least one game.

JACK GAUGHAN: Despite languishing 11 points behind Aston Villa in next season's Champions League, Manchester United can still qualify for next season's Champions League, according to Erik ten Hag. During Manchester City's 3-1 loss, a defiant United boss said they fell on the wrong side of two 'debatable' calls by Andrew Madley in the build-up to their opening two goals. And ten Hag says he got enough from an injury-ravaged team to reach the top four.

In a light-hearted social media debate with veteran defender Jonny Evans calling the Danish striker by a new name, Rasmus Hojlund was mocked by his Manchester United teammates. Hojlund's latest glowing reviews are in stark contrast to the scathing critique that followed him during his barren spell in the English top flight after his £72 million departure from Atalanta.

The agony and ecstasy of the world's top football league competition were on full display in another weekend of Premier League action. The 2023-24 season has so far been an exciting match, with excitement now being the name of the game, with a new record for total goals in Premier League history. Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool all won to raise their title hopes, with none of them showing any signs of slowing down as we enter the final third of the season.

Mike Keegan of Mail Sport does not expect new Manchester United part-owner Jim Ratcliffe to splash the cash in an attempt to solve the club's financial crisis. On Christmas Eve, Ratcliffe's Ineos firm purchased a 55% stake in United to lift hopes of a revival in fortunes at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils failed to add to their playing squad in January in an attempt to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. After a string of disappointing transfer windows in the last decade, Keegan believes that the Ineos founder will spend considerable time to develop the team over time. Ratcliffe has backed Ratcliffe to take a more conservative approach to player recruitment after a string of disappointing transfer windows over the past decade.

Muri Lopez dazzled in her latest Instagram photos by showcasing a glittery one piece outfit, writing: 'A few photos in the lead up to her favourite carnival were taken.' Martinez came from a four-month layoff when the Red Devils were held to a 2-2 draw by Ange Postecoglou's side. The Argentine was brought on to assist Jonny Evans right after the hour mark and wasted no time getting back to action. Muri's girlfriend seemed more satisfied with his appearance after the game as they shared an embrace on the pitch.

During Manchester United's draw with Tottenham on Sunday, Manchester United fans applauded defender Lisandro Martinez for a barge on Richarlison. The Argentine returned from a four-month layoff as the Red Devils were held to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford, with Ange Postecoglou's side winning. Martinez jumped in to replace Jonny Evans right after the hour was up, and he wasted no time getting back to action.
