Controversial Manchester United defender Jonathan Evans is to join Sunderland
AFC on loan until the end of the season — despite offers from Wigan Athletic,
Birmingham City and Sheffield United.
Evans, who was 20 on Wednesday, was arrested last month over an allegation of
rape at United's Christmas party — an accusation he denies — and has been
bailed until February 23.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson has warned the defender about his behaviour and
believes Sunderland AFC , under former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, is
the best place for him to progress.
Keane, who still hopes to tie down a deal for Blackburn Rovers defensive
midfielder Robbie Savage and Reading's winger Stephen Hunt, had Northern
Ireland international Evans on loan last season.
Ferguson has yet to decide on other proposals for Philip Bardsley, on loan at
Sheffield United, or from Sunderland AFC again for Danny Simpson.
Meanwhile, Paul Scholes says he is on course to return at the end of the month.
The United midfielder has started running again after spending more than two
months on the sidelines following knee ligament surgery. He said: "Everything
seems to be OK."
