Sport.co.uk can confirm that Manchester United and Patrice Evra’s representatives will sit down to discuss extending his current Red Devil’s deal in the summer.
The player’s chief representative told Sport.co.uk in an exclusive interview that his client was very happy at United and was eager to sit down in the close season to discuss a new deal at Old Trafford amid reports that Real Madrid were planning a raid on United in January.
Evra, 29, signed for Manchester United for a fee of £5.5 million from AS Monaco in January 2006 and after a staggering start has become a mainstay in Sir Alex Ferguson’s starting eleven and firm favorite with the United faithful.
Frederico Pastorello told Sport.co.uk: “He is currently under contract from the extension he signed a couple of years a go that runs out in 2012. At the moment we don’t think about anything because Patrice is concentrating on Manchester United but we will make a point of the situation in the summer and sit down with United.
“Things are going great with United and Sir Alex so we don’t want to speak about the future right now as we are in the middle of the season but we will talk in the summer.”
The daily fail however thinks we're going for a Portuguese man and that Patrice is off to Madrid
#2 United's family spirit
The Mexican’s level-headed attitude and undoubted talent are certainly partly responsible for that, but he’s also cited United's close-knit community for helping him feel at home.
"In spite of the pressure of being at a big club of the stature of United, when you’re part of that club it’s like a big family," the striker said.
"From the backroom and coaching staff to the cooks, everyone at the club treats you the same. We all get on and everyone gives you a slap on the back and encourages you.
"I think that atmosphere has allowed me to improve as a player and grow as a person. So I’m enjoying it. I know I’m a lucky individual to be here and have the opportunity to come to this club. It’s down to hard work now and I’m really trying all the time."
Chicharito's manager, meanwhile, has compared his prodigious heading ability to that of Reds legend Denis Law.
"He’s got the spring, of course, but it’s his ability to just hang there for a second or two that can upset defenders," Sir Alex Ferguson said.
"There have been players like that in the past. You think of Denis, for instance, who had that ability, and Ian St John at Liverpool. He (Chicharito) has a marvellous spring."
This leads me to 2 questions: 1) how awesome is Patrice and is there anyone who thinks we should sell him and go for Fabio C even with the other Fabio?, 2) how awesome is Chicharito on a scale of 10-10, 10 being most awesome?
OT this weekend I will bring back the question of the week~ thing if people are still up for it or still remember who I am *cries*
