Biography

Jonathan Grant Evans (born 3 January 1988) is a Northern Irish professional football coach and former player who played as a centre-back. He is currently first-team coach at Premier League club Manchester United.

Evans started his career at Manchester United, having progressed through the club's youth academy. He went on loan to Royal Antwerp and Sunderland to gain first-team experience before making his first-team debut in 2007. Evans became a regular first-team squad member the following season, going on to play almost 200 matches for Manchester United and winning 11 trophies, including three Premier League titles, two League Cups and a UEFA Champions League. He fell out of favour at the club under manager Louis van Gaal and left for West Bromwich Albion in 2015. After West Brom's relegation three years later, Evans signed for Leicester City, where he won the FA Cup in 2021 and was made club captain in 2022. Following Leicester City's relegation in 2023, Evans returned to Manchester United in July, officially signing for the side in September, where he spent two seasons, winning another FA Cup in 2024. Having departed Manchester United at the end of the 2024–25 season, he announced his retirement from professional football in May 2025.

A full international from 2006 to 2024, Evans is the second-most decorated player in Northern Irish football history. He played over 100 matches for the Northern Ireland national team, including as an ever-present in the team's run to the round of 16 at UEFA Euro 2016, as well as serving as captain. He officially retired from international football in August 2024.
