Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans is retiring, aged 37, after winning three league titles, a Champions League and winning more than a century of international caps
Jonny Evans has announced his retirement with the centre back's final appearance coming in Manchester United's post-season friendly win against Hong Kong on Friday.
The 107-cap Northern Ireland international won three Premier League titles, a Champions League, two FA Cups, two League cups and a Club World Cup, while making 537 club appearances for United and Leicester City.
Evans, 37, was only able to feature sporadically for United during their diabolical season but departs Old Trafford with his reputation untainted. His exit also means next season will be the first time since 1973-74 that not a single player in the squad featured at some point during Sir Alex Ferguson's time as manager.
“It's really nice and the level he has in training, you can see the standards in his prime and you understand why they won so many titles,” current head coach Ruben Amorim said.
“With his age, with a lot of problems physically, when he was fit to train, the level was really high. You can understand he was a very good player.”
United are expecting a hectic start to the transfer window. A £62.5m deal for Wolves forward Matheus Cunha is set to be completed after terms were agreed in the past week, while captain Bruno Fernandes has had his deadline for a potential move to join Al Hilal extended.
The Saudi club are willing to make the Portugal star one of the world's best players but are determined for him to join ahead of next month's Club World Cup. An initial deadline of last Thursday was set but the latest reports suggest he has until late next week to commit.
A three-year deal worth up to £200m in a salary is on offer with Al Hilal also expecting to pay a significant fee for Fernandes. He is reportedly giving serious thought to the offer.
Every member of United's squad is available for transfer at the right price as the club counts the cost of their dismal campaign and no European football next season. Ruben Amorim's squad requires a significant overhaul to meet the requirements of his 3-4-2-1 system.
But it is accepted that several sales are required to fund new signings. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho are among those who appear likely to depart this summer.
