Evra Future At United In Doubt

The French defender Patrice Evra signed a one year contract extension with Manchester United some months ago but it remains doubtful if he will indeed remain at Old Trafford after being heavily linked with Juventus.

Juventus is interested in signing the veteran defender and reports originating from Italy are claiming that the team of Antonio Conte is willing to offer Patrice Evra a deal worth €3.5 million each year which might just be too much for the defender to pass up and his playing time at Manchester United is likely to be very limited as the Premier League club has already managed on signing the promising star Luke Shaw from Southampton with a price tag in the region of €30 million.

Louis van Gaal has already allowed Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic on leaving Manchester United as those were some of the more experienced and veteran defenders at Old Trafford and the Dutch manager could be considering on allowing leaving another one of their older players which can make for younger performers.

The ultimate decision will be on the hands of Patrice Evra as the French defender has to decide if he wants to play the last few years of his playing career at a club where his chances of playing are limited or somewhere where his chances on getting into the first team are guaranteed and he play an important role besides than just being a substitute player.

Antonio Conte does not want to pay a huge amount of money for a specific player in this summer transfer window and Patrice Evra remains well in his budget as the Frenchman can add experience and leadership into the team without having to break the bank.

Patrice Evra signs one year extension at United

Frenchman Patrice Evra has signed on a new one year contract extension with Manchester United that will see him remain at Old Trafford for Louis van Gaal’s first season in charge at the club.

The former AS Monaco was considering leaving the Theater of Dreams after eight years at the club, but he has decided to stay on for one more year. His previous contract was due to expire next month and he could have left the club for free as well.

Italian giants Inter Milan and former club AS Monaco were keen on his services but the Frenchman has decided to stay on at his old club for one more season.

The news was broken first by the official Twitter account of Manchester United which confirmed the French left back’s new deal with the club.

United has been on the hunt for another left for quite some time to either replace or provide competition for Patrice Evra and have already tabled a bid for young England player Luke Shaw, who is currently on the books at Southampton.

Evra, who had also reportedly been in talks with Juventus, will apparently help Shaw settle at the club and help the transition from one of the best left backs the Premier League has ever seen to one of the brightest prospects in years a smoother process for new manager van Gaal.

Patrice Evra is a hugely popular figure in the dressing room and has a cult following among the fans and keeping him might have been a masterstroke from the incoming United manager as he tries to make the club his own following the disastrous reign of David Moyes.

United are still in pole position to land Shaw, although any move for the 18 year old will take place after the FIFA World Cup.
