Jonny Evans

Talented young Irish defender Jonny Evans was loaned out to Sunderland by Man United in January 2007.

He impressed with the Black Cats, who wanted to keep him, but Evans rejected the offer, preferring to try and win a place in the team at Old Trafford. However, he made only a handful of appearances in 2007/08 for United and was arrested in December 2007 over an allegation of a rape at the club's Christmas party.

In January 2008 he once again returned to Sunderland on loan.
