Jonny Evans, who returned to Manchester United (MUFC) and signed a minimum wage contract, is starting in the Manchester derby. Evans had asked to train with Man Utd while looking for a new club. This is his first home start in a Manchester derby since being sent off in the 6-1 defeat in October 2011, known for Mario Balotelli's 'Why always me?' T-shirt.
This one's been lost to the sands of time but Jonny Evans nearly signed for City in 2017, it was basically the same situation as Alexis Sanchez (I think he signed a City contract because he was on international duty, but the move depended on Mangala leaving, which he didn't)
As part of Jonny Evans' unexpected return to #MUFC he signed a minimum wage contract so he could travel on the summer tour, having asked to train with Man Utd while he was looking for a new club Now he's starting in the Manchester derby. Quite the comeback https://t.co/xaP52z1jMA
