He also had over 100 outings for Leicester and can even call upon three season worth of experience with West Brom too. He knows what it takes to compete at the very top of the division then and has plenty of time spent scrapping near the bottom of the table too.

In total, his total gametime in the top tier stands at 356 appearances, 339 starts and 14 goals with 13 assists to boot.

Despite being 35-years-old now, Evans could certainly still offer plenty to the Burnley defence should he sign. His former teammate Wayne Rooney, who is now in management, has recently heaped the praise on the experienced pro, calling him “fantastic”.

He has bags of games under his belt, knows the league inside out and is clearly still highly regarded as an option at the back. Considering that he could also be available for nothing, it could be a smart bit of business from Vincent Kompany should he opt to add the centre-back, even if only on a short-term deal. That is though, if United decide to part ways with the centre-back rather than keep him for themselves next season.
