Manchester United have handed Jonny Evans a contract.

Released by Leicester City last season, Evans signed a short-term deal to the end of August with United.

He has now signed a 12 month deal with United.

"I am delighted to join Manchester United, a place which has always felt like home. This club and the fans have shaped me as a player and as a person since I was 15 years-old, and I am delighted to be back where it all began as part of this talented squad," said Evans.

"I've really enjoyed working under the manager and his coaching staff since the start of pre-season, and I'm looking forward to helping this group achieve success together at this fantastic football club."
