UNUSRE FUTURE

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the future of Patrice Evra with less than only a few months left on the defender’s contract, but the Frenchman refused to speak about his future after the 3-0 win over Olympiakos. Evra has been an integral part of Manchester United’s first team this season, but there have been reports since the summer that David Moyes has been looking to replace the 33-year-old with Leighton Baines from Everton. United even made an offer for the England international, which was rejected by Everton.

During this period, Evra has been linked with a return to France with Paris St Germain showing an interest in the player. United have already confirmed that Nemanja Vidic will be leaving the club at the end of the season. Rio Ferdinand is also out of contract in the summer as is Ryan Giggs. This could leave United without a number of stars, who have been an integral part of the club over the last decade. Evra said that this was not a good time to talk about his future since he wants to concentrate on his football. United came into the match after a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Liverpool on Sunday.

This was one of the several setbacks faced by the club since the appointment of Moyes in the summer.

“It is not a good day to talk about my future because the most important thing is Manchester United’s future, not mine. When I put on a Manchester United shirt, I will give everything, no matter what my future is. I am not going to tell you we are going to qualify but I promise we are going to fight and the fans will be proud of us after the game. It has been a difficult season for everyone,” said Evra.
