Jonny Evans has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford

Jonny Evans appears to be inching closer to the exit door at Manchester United after falling down the pecking order under Louis van Gaal.

The Northern Ireland international has been linked with West Bromwich Albion, Tottenham and Stoke but the central defender is reportedly interested in a move to Everton, according to Sky sources.

Evans came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford and has played over 200 matches since breaking into United's first team nine years ago.

However, the 27-year-old has yet to figure this season while a combination of injuries and a six-match spitting ban saw him limited to just 17 appearances last season.
