The 35-year-old centre-back had been training with the Under-21s whilst considering his options, following his departure from Leicester City at the end of last season.
Evans has represented the Red Devils in 198 games before departing the club in 2015, having won the Champions League, the Club World Cup, three Premier League titles and two League Cups.
The Northern Ireland international would then make a move to West Bromwich Albion, before switching over to Leicester in 2018. Evans was an integral part of the Foxes until last season when they were relegated.
Evans is the first defender to be recruited by United coach Erik Ten Hag this season, with English midfielder Mason Mount being the most high-profile acquisition.
