Man Utd's first-team squad needs to be the subject of a much-needed shake-up in the coming years.
If ever more evidence was needed to highlight the sheer size of the gulf between Manchester United and Manchester City, Sunday's derby at Old Trafford provided it.
Though it was manager Erik ten Hag's decision to select Evans ahead of Raphael Varane at centre-back, it was another reminder of how mismanagement at the very top has contributed to United's decline. As City continue to regularly hit the target in the transfer market, United continue to miss. Of all the new signings United have made in recent years, very few of them have turned out to be successful, once again highlighting the club's tendency to miss rather than hit. They have spent north of £400million in their first three transfer windows under Ten Hag, spending big-money on the likes of Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Antony and Casemiro.
Signing him on a long-term deal, as good as he was last season, made little sense, and United are never going to be able to recoup anywhere close to the £60m they initially invested in his signature. The same can be said for Raphael Varane, who will turn 31 next year. Despite a recent upturn in performance levels, he is unlikely to ever be considered as a key player for Ten Hag. United pushed hard to offload him in the summer, of course.
