Leicester City defender Jonny Evans admits he had to accept his chances for trophies were "gone" after leaving Manchester United in 2015.

The Northern Irishman won three Premier League titles, two League Cups and the Champions League during his time spent in Manchester. Evans has since added an FA Cup win to his cabinet after winning the competition with Leicester.

"It is a really tough thing to come by, silverware," Evans admitted to The Times.

"Some players never get the chance to win things. We have been very lucky and fortunate. I am so grateful that I have been able to win a few things in my career - that is something you can always look back on.

"You sort of think those opportunities are gone. Myself and Darren Fletcher, at the time, we used to drive down from Manchester to West Brom and talk about that. The chances of winning cup competitions are really difficult.

"We knew the difference in opportunities - you probably don't realise it at the time when you are at such a big club. Whenever you leave a club like Manchester United, you realise your opportunities are going to be limited."
