Farewell season! Manchester United official: Lindelof, Evans and Erikson will leave the team when the contract expires

On May 26, Manchester United officially announced that Lindelof, Evans and Eriksen will leave the team after their contracts expire. In the final game of the season, Manchester United defeated Villa 2-0 at Old Trafford, and Eriksen scored a penalty.

In the summer of 2017, Lindelof joined Manchester United from Benfica. He played 284 games for the team, playing the largest number of games among the three players. While at Manchester United, Lindelof helped the team win the FA Cup and League Cup championships. It is worth mentioning that he won the championship medals in these two events in his first two seasons at Manchester United. In the 2023-24 FA Cup final, he came on as a substitute to help the team defeat Manchester City to win the championship. He scored 4 goals for Manchester United, all of which appeared at Old Trafford. His most recent goal was against Luton last season.

Evans played for Manchester United twice, totaling more than 10 seasons. In the autumn of 2007, Evans made his debut for Manchester United's first team. He was an important member of the team's defense for the next seven seasons. In the 2012-13 season, he and Ferdinand partnered with the central defender to help Manchester United win the Premier League championship last time. That season, as a defender, he scored 4 goals. After the 2014-15 season, he left Manchester United and returned to Old Trafford in 2023. During his two-time performance at Manchester United, he scored a total of 8 goals.

Wearing a Manchester United jersey, Evans played in 241 games. During his first time, he won three Premier League titles, one Champions League title, one Club World Cup title and one League Cup title. After returning to Manchester United, he won the FA Cup with the team. Although Eriksen's three years at Manchester United are short, his influence cannot be underestimated. In the past three seasons, he has played in a total of 107 games for the team, and he has brought an elegant style to Manchester United midfielder. Eriksen scored 8 goals for Manchester United, four of which were scored in the first few months of the season, including two goals against Twente and Fenerbahce in the UEFA Cup. During his time at Manchester United, he helped the team win the League Cup and FA Cup championships.
