I won three Premier League titles with Man Utd but my kids still don't believe I played for them | The Sun

JONNY EVANS has revealed his kids cannot believe he has had more than one spell at Manchester United.

The defender returned to the club on a one-year deal this summer – eight years after leaving Old Trafford.

Evans, 35, came through United's academy before making 198 appearances for the club, through which he met his wife Helen McConnel who worked as a MUTV presenter.

But he revealed it is difficult for his three children – Lottie, 9, Heidi, 6 and Eli, 3 – to believe him, despite winning three Premier League titles with the Red Devils.

Evans told ManUtd.com: "I think they know I used to play for United, but I don't think they believe me in that sense.

"It’s nice that they're going to be able to watch me.

"So, I'm really fortunate and lucky that I get to do that."

Evans' United return got off to a nightmare start against Arsenal on Sunday and fans were scathing of his second debut.

The Northern Ireland international deflected Declan Rice's shot into the back of his own net to give Arsenal the lead in stoppage time.

He then played Gabriel Jesus onside as the last defender, allowing the Brazilian through on goal to add a third for the Gunners which wrapped up the match.
