The FIFA World Club Cup final was Patrice Evra’s last appearance for United until January 11th, when we will take on Chelsea. Our French full-back is now serving his unjust ban for the events of ‘The Battle at the Bridge’.
He has today reflected on his time at United, looking at all the trophies he’s won, but now targets three league titles in a row.
“We need to try and maintain our ambition because I always say it’s easy to win a trophy, but keeping hold of it is the difficult part,” said Evra. “We now have four trophies now and we are all hungry to keep hold of them. In three years at the club I have won two league titles, the League Cup, the Champions League, the Community Shield and now the Club World Cup – it’s unbelievable. I know I need to keep working hard because the people expect a lot from me – I don’t want them to say it has been an accident! My target is to win three titles in a row. To win it again would be the best feeling. The fans and everyone at the club expect us to do well and we have the potential to win another title this season. The most important factor is the spirit and of course we must keep working hard.”

BEST LEFT BACK EVER!
naah evra’s the best
Who keeps this guy out of the national team again? Maybe Evra is a tad slower b/c he has to haul around all of his silverware…
Just the attitude we want from all our players. Love the guy. Legend in the making!
I’m as biased towards United as the next guy, but I think Clichy and Evra are about as close to a push as two players can be. Its just that Clichy is a lot younger.
But we shouldn’t worry, if all goes according to plan Fabio will be in this consideration in a few years…
Clichy had one good season and that was last season, this season he’s been nothing on Evra which is a shame ‘cuz he’s in my fantasy side! Pull your finger out Clichy!!
Also it’s Abidal that keeps Evra out isn’t it? Well he used to, I think Evra should play as a winger for France or as the full back either way, he’s too good for the bench. Abidal is poor, i’d have Clichy as full back and Evra on the wing.
Oh yes, He’s a red….
I fuckin love this lad. He just seems to love our club more than any. RESPECT Patrice Evra
Just like our English lads, I couldn’t care less about the International scene and if Paddy does or doesn’t suffer from Domenech’s insufferable incompetence – at the end of the day, him playing for France only increases the likelihood of injury and him not playing for United (thus missing the excellent attitude he’s displayed here).
Also, we’ve won 17 titles, not 10. United weren’t established in 1992, even if it pains me to hear the ‘dippers go on about 18-17 rather than us going on about 10-0.
17-3, w/o killing anyone.
Evra is a much better defender than clichy. Clichy still can’t defend as well yet. He’s the best leftback in the game. Does make the odd mistake defensively, but he’s been getting better defensively. He’s an excellent example for fabio and rafael.
I am not impressed with Jonny Evans at all, think we should’ve kept Pique
W…..jonny evans is class mate.
Left back pat is the best
and why has park become dong???
w: “I am not impressed with Johnny Evans at all”
Really mate you must be one of only a few who isn’t impressed. Got a great future ahead of him that lad and whenever he has had to step in this season he has more than done himself proud!
Pique is a talented defender and will do well in a tactical league like La Liga , the Champions’ League or even Serie A, but he just wasn’t cut out for the pace of the EPL.
Evans would do well in all of them (and is younger, to boot). That’s the difference, essentially.
