BREAKING NEWS: There’s a lot of things going on in the dressing room that I need to expose public, that was the reason why I resigned as Head of Loans and Pathways”, Jonny Evans reveal the real why He resigned from His role at Man United today
Just six months after being appointed, Evans has decided to stand down and rethink his plans for the future.
Evans made 241 appearances for United throughout his career, winning three Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League, along with two League Cups and a FIFA Club World Cup.
On top of that success, Evans won the FA Cup with Leicester City in 2021 and represented Northern Ireland at the European Championships in 2016.
Respected United reporter Laurie Whitwell has provided an update on Evans to stress that he wanted some time away from football with his family, but that doesn’t mean he won’t return to the beautiful game in a different capacity.
Whitwell explains that United don’t want to give the impression that it’s ‘jobs for the boys,’ but Evans wasn’t any old former player. He has always been a fantastic servant to the football club.
“It can’t just be jobs for the boys, right? But I think we can all agree that Jonny Evans is an intelligent, very experienced individual that has got Manchester United in his veins, and then has also got other experiences from other clubs, but came back as a player and managed to force his way back into the team,” Whitwell said on the Talk of the Devils podcast.
“That shows his quality. Spoke very compellingly about the redundancies that were going on at the club when we were in LA. And so you’ve got that emotional quality to him, that human intelligence, I would say.
“So I thought this was going to be a good fit for him. In the loans and pathways, obviously, he’s been an academy player. He can speak to the young lads.
“Yeah. So we’re told that he wants to spend more time in his family. And I think that’s a fair assessment of it, given it is such a, it is an arduous job.”
