(Reuters) - Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans said he faced the possibility that his career was coming to an end last year due to a succession of injuries before he was handed a lifeline by his former club Manchester United.
Evans struggled with calf injuries at Leicester City and was released by the club at the end of last season after their Premier League relegation.
