In the 36th round of the English Premier League on May 7
Manchester United Football Club
Suffered a crushing defeat, going down 0-4 to Crystal Palace. Before the match, Manchester United faced a shortage of manpower at center back, Evans made his debut in this match and played the whole match, partnering with Casemiro, who was playing as a guest center back. According to British media Attacking Footy, Evans did not pass the fitness test before the match, but due to the absence of center backs such as Varane, Kambwala, Lisandro, Maguire and Lindelof, United decided to let him play.
The result of the loss was very painful for United, especially at a crucial time in the race for the top four in the league. Despite Evans being the only full-time center back available, his partnership with makeshift center back Casemiro was not effective in holding off the Crystal Palace attack. The loss not only had a serious impact on United's European qualification prospects, but also raised questions about the team's overall defensive system.
For Evans, even though he did not pass his fitness test before the game, he accepted the challenge and gave it his all on the field. As a senior player, he was certainly respected and recognized by the fans and the club for his performance. However, United will need to make adjustments in the coming matches to ensure the stability of the lineup and the improvement of their defensive capabilities in order to strive for better results.
