I gave him some criticism at first after the arsenal game I think mainly due to the fact I thought he was past it and how our standards have dropped soo much we have to bring in past players of his age and not invest etc but I hold my hands up and have to acknowledge that display today was top class defending and if used in some games he can still do a job well played johnny I guess coming from the last era of a once winning team shows sometimes its a shame he's back with a far inferior one now.
Him and varane both played well today considering
Brought some much needed composure to our backline. Fair play to the guy.
Best game for Man United in a decade ...
One of LVG's worst decisions. We ended up with Blackett and McNair in the team.
And Rafael, Nani, Hernandez, and to a lesser extent arguably even Welbeck, Fletcher and Januzaj, all shipped out hastily. But letting Evans go was ridiculous.
Him & Varane were excellent as a pair today, with Jonny slightly more composed
Very good today. He's not done badly at all since coming back.
On the quiet, he's been an inspired signing really.
Other than (genuinely) brings in "good feeling" factor, his performance has been absolutely quality.
One of Ten Hag’s best signings.
Very good performance. At his current age, Jonny is still better than Lindelof and Bailly and offers much more value for money than Maguire. I think it sums up how bad our recruitment and the sporting director had been. We don’t know how to spend money and value players at all.
A very solid performance.
Yeah, it's depressing to think that the right free transfers could have put up better performances than some of our big money signings this season:
Lerma - Casemiro
Evans - Lindelof
Kamada - Mount
Casemiro probably wasn't being sold, but selling Lindelof and not buying Mount and we're up like 70M or so is my guess (big Kamada wage package to get him over Napoli, so let's say about half the Lindelof fee is gone).
He's easily been our best signing of the summer regardless of value. It's not particularly close either for me!
Right, which one of you is responsible for this?
Free signings have worked out. I thought he was very good yesterday.
Was excellent along with Varane
He has been very good whenever he played, very good signing for a back up position who can perform to decent level.
Apparently he's never lost vs. Liverpool in a United shirt?
Jonny is still shining in this team, which says more about the team than it does about him. Partnered well with Rapha yesterday - the scousers never got a sniff
He was good, as he has been since he came back. A nice bonus. It was good to see him having a word with Mainoo and being the senior pro, even if in my mind I still see Evans as a promising youngster....
Should definitely now be ahead of Lindelof in the pecking order for the rest of the season. A great presence to have in the squad.
Turns 36 in January. He's been really impressive since coming back given his age. Martinez, Varane, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof + Shaw. We have good group of CBs. Hope that can give us platform for better 2nd part of the season.
Thanks LVG for selling Evans for peanuts while splashing money on Rojo.
Jokes aside, Evans is absolute top notch option to have. Great game.

I hated LvG's transfers (more in hindsight though). Sold Rafael, Evans, Kagawa, Zaha, Nani, Chicharito, Welbeck. Most of those had decent careers afterwards and could've been useful players for us if we kept them.
On merit, I would think he should be 4th option - ahead of Lindelof (but behind Martinez, Varane and Maguire)
Agreed. I was angry at the time what that clown gutted our squad and with the passage of time LVG’s looks more and more like the beginning of a Dark Age for United that extended through Ole’s reign.
Evans was excellent yesterday.
Perfect guy to have around the side really, he's an excellent professional who's spent enough time at the club to understand the standards required, a good leader and happy to be a squad player. In a tough period like we've had I've no doubt he's someone who can calm everyone down and keep the squad together. Despite that I was against his signing because I felt he wasn't good enough to still be playing at this level but he's proving me wrong so far.
I was waiting for this pairing to happen, both players pretty solid on the ball ooze experience and good readers of the game. If I was ETH I would try this lineup again, both controlled the line very well and kept Shaw and Dalot focusing on their tasks.
Casemiro and Mainoo plus a solid striker would do this group good.

Absolutely. I think even ETH thinks the same.
Last senior CB standing. Thank feck we got him in. And to think how many people were outraged at us bringing him in as 5th choice.
West Ham 2:0 Man Utd
Quicker than Mainoo.. 
Why isn't the player performance threads closed down?
This old man young man pairing is doing well so far. It's like things have gone full circle for Evans.
Did a good job under the circumstances and I feel like he's one of our more confident passers from CB, happy to play a long pass with either foot to bypass midfield and try to find an attacking player
Nice shot towards Onana
Dude has done great given that he was brought out of semi retirement.
Done ok all things considered
Easily one of the better players on the pitch today.
