Liverpool hero Graeme Souness says Leicester City defender Jonny Evans would "walk" into Manchester United's starting XI.

Evans left United for West Brom in 2015 before ending up at Leicester, who are now flying high in third place in the Premier League while United are languishing in 11th.

Souness said of the central defender: "Evans is 31 and has maybe not hit his peak yet.

"He walks into the Manchester United team for me when you look at what United have at the back.

"He can make passes, senses danger. He's all round a top class centre-half for me."
