Manchester United want Jonny Evans back from West Brom for cut-price £3million

The former Red Devils centre-half, 30, was sold to West Brom by Louis van Gaal in 2015 for £6m.

But his stock rose in the first two of his three seasons at Albion.

Leicester had a £10m bid turned down last August and Manchester City had an £18m offer rejected shortly after.

There was then interest from Arsenal in the New Year window, with a proposed offer of £10m plus full-back Mathieu Debuchy.

And despite having the second-best defensive record in the league behind City, Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho is still not happy with his back line and thinks experienced Evans would be a good addition.


His fee has now come down as he had a release clause inserted in his Baggies contract, allowing him to go for £3m if they get relegated.

That now seems certain with the club eight points adrift of safety at the bottom with three games left.

The 68-cap Northern Ireland star won three Premier League titles, two League Cups and the Club World Cup at Old Trafford.
