Veteran Evans is off contract at the end of this month and hopes to stay himself.
On Ten Hag said, "I think he is a top class manager and, like I said before, the thing that keeps me going especially is learning about the game and I learned an awful lot last season with different styles of playing the game.
"I learned a lot of things from the manager so that was quite an eye opener for me. I feel like he has got some great ideas about the game of football."
Evans also recalled making sure Ten Hag lifted the FA Cup during the medal presentation.
He continued: "They were trying to get us off to go and celebrate on the pitch.
"I passed it to the guy beside me and I saw the manager further on and I didn’t want him to miss out on that moment.
"I felt like it was a big moment for him. I’m glad he got to lift it like that. The manager was great for me, brought me back in and showed a lot of faith in me so it was nice he was able to have that moment."
Of his own future, Evans added: "I love playing football. I've had spells, the season before last, where I've had injury problems and you miss it when you're not playing.
"I've always tried to have it in the back of my mind that you play when you can. I love playing matches. As you get older the training becomes a little bit more difficult but games are what you live for, the adrenaline you get from that.
"Coming off the pitch, whenever you analyse yourself, I still feel like I'm improving as a player. I'm still learning. That's the biggest thing that keeps me going, having that belief that I can still get better."
