The wife of Northern Ireland footballer Jonny Evans has revealed the couple’s nine-year-old daughter called it the “best Boxing day” she has ever had after her dad’s club Manchester United won against Aston Villa on Tuesday evening.
In a social media post on X, formerly Twitter, Helen Evans, who has been married to Evans since 2013 wrote, “Our nine-year-old just said: ‘that was the best Boxing Day I've ever had’”, following the club’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford.
The match saw United down for most of the game with goals from Villa’s John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker.

However, United managed a stunning comeback with goals from Alejandro Garnacho, who previously had a goal ruled off-side by VAR, only to score again in the 71st minute, and Rasmus Hojlund, who got his first Premier League goal.
