After retiring over the summer at United, Evans was recalled after Michael Carrick's appointment as new manager to join his staff alongside Travis Binnion, Jonathan Woodgate and Steve Holland.
“It’s been really good,” Evans told MUTV. “Obviously I’ve known Michael a long time, and it’s been really easy to come in with Steve and Woody and Trav, (who has) obviously worked with the Under-21s.
“The club’s like my home almost, so day to day just feels natural for me. On the coaching side of it, I just feel like I’m learning every day.
“Your mind’s thinking in different ways. I’ve really enjoyed it and hopefully I can continue that on and learn more towards the end of the season.”
Reflecting on the change, he said: “The first couple of days felt a little bit strange, I can’t lie. I’ve got, for example, big Harry (Maguire), he’s my centre-back partner and I’ve played with him for two different clubs, and all of a sudden that’s flipped now and I’m now coaching him.
“We would have talked about the game in the past and I suppose you can still make it a bit of a conversation and a discussion, but there’s lads like Shawy (Luke Shaw) and that. He was 19 when he signed here the first time and I was already playing in the first team, so little dynamics like that.
“Obviously now I’m trying to put sessions on for them, so it probably took me a week or two to adjust but after that you just feel it flowing.”
