Occasional Digest - a story for you

Evans described himself as “very relaxed” about his search for a new club, adding he will “see what the summer brings”.

His older brother, Manchester United defender Jonny Evans, could be in the same boat with his Old Trafford future still uncertain.

The younger Evans, a Manchester United youth product himself, was at Wembley on Saturday to see his brother lift the FA Cup after coming off the bench in the 2-1 victory over Manchester City.

“I took my son along and I don’t think he will ever forget it,” said Corry.

“I was so proud of Jonny. He did well in the cup final, but it wasn’t just Saturday, he’s done unbelievably well this season.

“I think he has shown what a quality player he still is and I think he deserved to play a part on Saturday. It was a proud moment for the whole family.”

Having left United for West Brom in 2015, the 36-year-old returned to his first professional club in September on a deal for the remainder of the season.

Corry added: “Any time Jonny was called upon he did unbelievable. I think if you asked him at the start of the season, I don’t think he would have expected to be playing in another FA Cup final, and winning it, with Manchester United.

“But football is a strange game and he is still showing he has the quality and the fitness and everything else that goes with it, to be part of a team like that.

“He has done incredibly well, and probably played a lot more games than he expected. Fair play to him, it’s another medal.

“It is some career and the family are immensely proud of him.”
