Honestly think that there is an argument to be had that - when you factor in the amount of money spent (or not in this case) - that he has been ETH's best signing.
Which, you know, is absolutely mental.
He's definitely top 3 anyway with no argument to be had.

They usually say about young players that "if he's good enough, he's old enough". In the case of Evans, one must say that "if he's good enough, he's young enough".
There is no need to discuss Evans' age. I've seen so-called experts like Scholes and Berbatov say that it's bad that a 36-year-old player can be the best on the field. I understand nothing of that point of view. As long as Evans can perform at this level, his age is not an issue. On the contrary, there are matches where his age is an advantage. Especially when we play defensively and don't leave too much space behind the defense so that he doesn't have to race with anyone. Evans wasn't that prescient and smart on his game 10 years ago, if you ask me.

The thing about Jonny Evans is that he is, despite his time at Leicester City (where he won the PL) a proper United player, unlike so many others. He attacks the ball when he thinks he can win it. Very clever player who has always been under rated because he is quiet and rarely speaks out.
Evans wasn't at Leicester when they won the League...
This is a very valid argument
Him and Eriksen. I'd happily undo the rest.
Appreciate your correction.
Love Evans. He was awesome yesterday. True professional.
Thank you Jonny for revealing the true reason why we are so shit for such a long time already.
It’s all about the mentality of the players. Do you fancy or not. Some of them probably are not doing it on purpose and not even realising it themselves, but the mentally weak environment has that impact on them.
You can still put an amazing performance in even if the manager is shit (which I’m not completely saying), even if Old Trafford is collapsing and the ice baths are 70 years old. You can play for this shirt if you know what an honour it is.
Thank you Jonny!

How I see Evans. Reliable player that brings back memories of Fergie days.
Man Utd 2:1 Brentford
The man who is holding our defense together.
Him and DeLigt were very solid
Lets just hope the mans body will hold together too...
He's a class act. Another solid performance.
Yes they were. And it was interesting to see Evans constantly talking to DL.
There’s a good argument to say our best two players this season have been Evans and Eriksen. Not sure what that says about our signings
That is a weird statement but also a fact. Them two have been pretty much our best performers.
Zlatan and Bruno probably have been the only signing who hit the ground running from the start in recent years. We're only 8 league games in so hopefully some of the new boys step it up but promising signs from De Ligt and Maz.
Another solid performance from Jonny. I don't know if we can play him every game, he probably needs the full week to recover.
Outstanding once again.
Is he injured?
Yes from last game.
Anything bad?
No I don’t think so. I read he “got a knock” and skipped training, and then today I read he would miss the game because of the injury. But “got a knock” seems to be ETH’s go to answer whenever someone is injured.
It’ll be interesting to see if Amorim uses him. I still genuinely think he’s our best CB and lack of pace doesn’t seem to be a problem for his game.
We should manage his minutes carefully, and we can probably get a few more years out of him if he’s up for it.
A player with his experience will be invaluable to a new manager, how Amorim deals with him will be a good early indication of what’s to come. I hope he doesn’t take the LvG approach.

Man Utd 3:0 Leicester
New
If he keeps up his current form, he deserves another year, especially if we switch to a 3 at the back, I'd rather players like him were our squad players instead of the likes of Lindelof.
Another very solid sub appearance. Well done
We’ll need both if we’re 3 at the back. I’d say you want at least 6 cb. 2 for each slot and then one to offer depth. Licha/Shaw De Ligt/Maguire and Yoro/Lindelof with Evans to offer extra cover.
He's our Sheringham of centerback.
He’s been better than he was last year. Didn’t expect that.
He's actually so underrated by folk it's criminal. Myself included.
Beyond his performances, it's so great to have his character in the dressing room and around the club. When De Gea left, I didn't think we would get another player that had played under SAF, but here we are.
He's won the lot.
There’s been a video recently with Bruno, Højlund and a few others answering random questions about the squad and you can tell that they absolutely adore Johnny. I think they unanimously called him the funniest guy in the team (although someone also mentioned Heaton as a part of the Heaton-Evan’s double act).
You don't really think about it a lot, but the age differences in a modern football squad can be quite big. Evans is 16-17 years older than the likes of Mainoo and Garnacho. Theoretically he could be their dad. I imagine it becomes a mix between teammate and father figure, also considering the experience and success Evans has under his belt.
Fun Evans fact, in the 521 minutes he's played this season, we've conceded 2 goals.
Was one of my favourite players along side Carrick back in the day. So glad he’s back with United and doing this well. A shame he had a ‘mare under LVG, should never have left.
Gary was spot on re. Rashford
I find it hard to believe how the work ethics really stick. Even after so many years of not being United player. Makes you appreciate just how great of a manager Sir Alex was. His connections with the players and his mentality were beyond the pitch. He actually changed people.
