Manchester United's 37-year-old veteran officially retires, and the Premier League championship squad all say goodbye! The 52-year record of the Lord came to an end

Manchester United's 3-1 win over Hong Kong was the 37-year-old's last appearance for the Red Devils. He started for 45 minutes before being replaced by Eden Haven. Evans' contract with the club expires without a contract extension, and the legendary Northern Ireland centre-back will hang up his boots and end his professional career.

Evans was recruited to United's first-team squad in 2006 and was subsequently loaned out to Antwerp and Sunderland in Belgium. A year later, he made his first-team debut and squeezed out legendary Spanish centre-back Gerard Pique to win the Premier League and Champions League in 198 appearances for Manchester United.

In 2014, Evans left Louis van Gaal's Manchester United to play for West Brom and Leicester City. Eight years later, Evans returned to his old club and won the FA Cup, filling in on his past lack of titles at Old Trafford and achieving the 'Grand Slam'.

Ahead of Evans' farewell match, Amorim praised Evans: "He's really good in training, he's at his peak, and you can see why he's won so many titles. With his age, with a lot of physical problems, but when he's fit to train, the level is really high. You can be sure he's a very good player."

Evans revealed upon his return to Manchester United that he had deceived Ferguilla when he signed for the club, saying that he was a fast runner. "I remember him asking me, 'Are you fast?' Did you win the 100-meter race first in school?' In order to sign with the club, I said I did, which is obviously a lie!"

Evans' departure means that the squad that won the Premier League for the last time in 2013 has all left. That moment would have happened when David De Gea was ousted by Ten Hag, but Evans' surprise return pushed back the clock by another two years. Evans was supposed to train at Carrington after his contract with Leicester City expired to stay fit and find a home to find his next home, but he didn't expect to impress Ten Hag directly and was able to sign back to the team.

Now, Evans' hanging boots have put an end to United's 'Ferdin' era, and for the first time in 52 years, there will be no player in the squad who has ever played for Ferdin. Although he only took charge of the Red Devils in November 1986, he had some of the most honourable players who had been with the club since 1973/74, such as then-left-back and Scottish legend Arthur Albistone.

Now, with Evans bidding farewell to the Theatre of Dreams, United's only third goalkeeper, Tom Heaton, has played with Ferdinand between 2005 and 2010, but unfortunately he has never played for the old man's side in a competitive game. Moreover, Heaton's contract has also expired, and he is likely to hang up his boots in the summer, or leave Manchester United.

Andy Miten, a well-known Manchester United journalist, has confirmed that United's match against Hong Kong will indeed be the final game of Evans' career. Statistically, he has played a total of 537 games for various clubs, won 15 trophies and played 107 times for the Northern Ireland national team, making him an absolute legend.

With Evans retiring and Victor Lindelof departing, United's centre-backs will be renewed this summer. Amorim currently has six first-team defenders in Lisandro Martinez, De Ligt, Harry Maguire, Lenny Yoro, Eden Haven and Tyler Frederiksen, and it will be decided whether a new centre-back will need to be brought in the summer window.
