Jonny Evans overcame Man Utd fear after frank discussions with Darren Fletcher

Jonny Evans admits he feared for his chances of lifting more silverware in his career when he left Manchester United.

But the Leicester FA Cup winner has been more successful than United in the last year in Brendan Rodgers' side. He can take a major step closer to another trophy on Thursday in Rome in the Europa Conference League semi-final second leg. Classy Northern Ireland stopper Evans, 34, came through the ranks at Old Trafford and won the Premier League three times, the League Cup twice and Club World Cup.

But he left for West Brom in 2015 for regular games before moving to the King Power Stadium in 2018. He was part of Leicester’s historic maiden FA Cup triumph last term over Chelsea at Wembley. And while old club United are enduring a fifth season without a trophy in their worst trophy drought in 40 years, Evans is seeking to upset Roma and Jose Mourinho to reach the Foxes' first European final after last week's 1-1 first leg draw.
