Manchester United s 37-year-old veteran officially retires, and the Premier League champion lineup bids farewell! Ferguson s 52-year record ends
4:47pm, 31 May 2025【Football】
Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Hong Kong, China was the last time that 37-year-old veteran Evans made a appearance for the Red Devils. He started for 45 minutes before being replaced by Eden Haven. Evans' contract with the club expires and the two sides have not renewed the contract. The legendary Northern Ireland central defender will hang up his boots and end his professional career.

Evans was recruited by Florence into Manchester United's first team in 2006, and was then rented out to Antwerp and Sunderland, Belgium for training. A year later, he made his first team debut and squeezed out Spanish legendary centerback Pique, making 198 appearances at Manchester United, winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
In 2014, Evans left Manchester United, where he coached by Van Gaal, and played for West Brom and Leicester City. Eight years later, Evans returned to his old club and won the FA Cup championship, filling in the championship he lacked in at Old Trafford in the past, achieving a "Grand Slam".
Before Evans' farewell game, Amorin praised Evans: "He is really good at training and his peak level, and it's understand why he won so many championships. With his age, he has a lot of physical problems, but when he is suitable for training, his level is really high. You can be sure he is a very good player."
Evans revealed after returning to Manchester United that he had deceived Ferguson when signing and said he ran very fast. "I remember he asked me: 'Are you fast? Have you ever won the first place in the 100m race in school?' In order to sign with the club, I said I have it, that's obviously a lie!" Evans' departure means that Manchester United's last Premier League championship in 2013 has all left. This moment would have happened when De Gea was expelled by Tenhager, but Evans' unexpected return delayed the time for another two years. Evans originally went to Carrington to train after the expiration of his contract with Leicester City to maintain his state, so as to find his next home, but he didn't expect that he directly impressed Tenghager and was able to sign and return to the team.
Now, Evans's boots have completely ended Manchester United's "France Era". There will be no player in the team who has played for France in the future. This will be the first time in 52 years. Although Ferreau coached the Red Devils in November 1986, the team had meritorious players who started playing for the team in the 1973/74 season, such as the left-back and Scottish legend Arthur Albistone.
Now, with Evans saying goodbye to Dream Theater, Manchester United only third goalkeeper Tom Heaton had worked with Freud from 2005 to 2010, but unfortunately he never represented Sir Alex's team in official matches. Moreover, Heaton's contract has expired, and he is likely to hang up his boots in the summer, or leave Manchester United.
Andy Mitten, a well-known Manchester United team reporter, confirmed that the game between Manchester United and Hong Kong is indeed the last game of Evans' career. Data shows that he has played 537 games for various clubs, won 15 championships, and played for the Northern Ireland national team 107 times, which is definitely a legend of the generation.

Evans retired, Lindleff left the team, and Manchester United's central defenders will also be updated this summer. Amorin currently has six first-team defenders, Lisandro Martinez, Dricht, Maguire, Lenny Yoro, Eden Haven and Taylor Frederickson. Whether a new central defender needs to be introduced in the summer window will also be a matter of decision.
