Jonny Evans returned for team training today, following a delay in his recovery. The French forward, who was initially expected to be out for ten weeks, could potentially play his final matches for the club as his contract expires this summer. Northern Irish defender Evans, who signed a one-year deal in September, has appeared in 25 games for the Red Devils this season.

Meanwhile, speculation surrounds the potential return of midfielder Bruno Fernandes for an upcoming match, with manager Ten Hag suggesting that Scott McTominay may also return to training this weekend. However, the team continues to grapple with injuries to key players such as Marcus Rashford, Victor Lindelof, and Raphael Varane. Despite this, Ten Hag acknowledged that the club has yet to meet the high expectations of Manchester United.

Looking ahead, Ten Hag emphasized the need for squad improvements as the team’s performance has fallen below the club’s standards. He also mentioned the impact of injuries, hinting that the upcoming transfer window would be crucial for strengthening the squad.
