Patrice Evra, who never fails to impress when he is interviewed, has had a few words with MUTV about a variety of topics, and again does a great job of it.
“It’s a privilege to play for Manchester United and I try and enjoy every moment at this club,” he said. “When you pull on the shirt you also pull on the history that comes with it and you need to do that history proud and respect what’s come before. There’s a lot of responsibility that comes with being a Manchester United player but I enjoy the challenge.”
Evra has been impressed with new signing Antonio Valencia in training although insists the new winger is no match for himself.
“He has no chance against me!” said Evra. “I don’t care who I’m marking, I always try and be strong in the tackle and win the ball. But it’s true he’s a very good player. I like his mentality – he wants to improve, he’s powerful and he likes to run at defenders.”
Evra reveals that he is the dressing room DJ, compiling play lists for his team mates to listen to before every match.
“Before every match I sit down in my room and work out a playlist,” he said. “I have to change it every time – you don’t know these guys, they’re like dogs! They’re hungry for new songs and get angry if it’s the same stuff as the last game. So I need to mix it up and make sure everybody’s happy – I put on some English music, some r’n’b, some dance, some Brazilian… now it’s part of the ritual before games. Sometimes other people come in and try and put their own music on – I don’t want to name names – but usually my team-mates will say: ‘Hey, come on, respect the iPod of Evra!’. So I say: ‘No problem,’ and just turn theirs off.”
Evra spoke his career after football and unsurprisingly gave a fairly bizarre answer.
“I’d be a babysitter,” he claimed. “A babysitter for my son. And when I retire maybe I can babysit for all the other players. I like children and I like to play football with the young kids, so that’s something I’d enjoy. I like TV too – a comedy show with my friend Ji-sung Park would be nice!”

Patrice is a legend
always full of fun and having confidence in himself.as for life after football thats fine because you dont get too much time wid your family wen u r playing so he can make up for lost time.
This guy’s excellent. There’s a playful, silly way with him that seems to be totally lost in the game.
They all want to trot out the same ballbag answers and toe the line.
Also im more than convinced that Evra and Ji-Sung in a Green Hornet style remake would be a huge success.
Yep.
This lad deserves a song.
Couldnt imagine him getting too big for his boots and subbing himself. Viva Paddy E!
@REDPHIL
I HOPE THIS SONGS GOOD ENOUGH

I f*cking love this guy!
WHAT A LEGEND!
BES LEFT BACK IN THE WORLD!
Love the lad. Actually I’m not that surprised he would be a babysitter if he wasn’t a professional footballer. He likes to goof around and I’m sure kids love him.
But off topic – Nemanja’s agent says Vidic would be happy to play for Barcelona. Oh dear, please say it’s not true. Not you too Vidic…
Oh my god. It’s really funny. I like the way he speaks about the club and his team mates and even name their name.
It makes you wonder what were they listening to before the barca game. Doom metal i guess
hes cocky too, i like that in a player
go on patrice!
Comedy Show with Park Ji-Sung ?
What will it be called ?
“The Park & Pat Show” ?
“Park & Pat’s Amazing Adventures” ?
“P.P.” ?
xD
chelsea have signed just namania
oh bollox they have straightened there team unbelivible now
they just signed one of the worlds best defenders…oh no wait its namania maticfrom mfk kosice ?????
It was more like No rhythm, all Blues!
off topic. we are down to bare bones at the back.i seriously doubt whether we will be able to cope up at Wigan on Saturday.We will be fine at Burnley but Wigan are a good passing side and it wnt be easy for us.Vida will be a little rusty given his absence from the game.rio is not fit neither is rafael.Evans a doubt too.
I love that Park and Evra are the best of friends
He cracks me up. What is it with french players at our club and their ability to say exactly the right thing?
Ji sung and Pat are the best odd couple since Harold and Kumar.
I wouldnt mind Evra looking after my kids but I am not sure I would trust Park walking my dog.
@READ CAREFULLY, dude……
Patrice is a fine quality player who is always showing his class full-bodied and well rounded.He is like a fine bottle of Bordeaux with a ripe Brie. They say you are what you eat !
Park runs around like a little Jack Russel Terrier
Patrice Evra is very inspiring to me and hopefully to others. His mentality of the game and life itself is remarkable. I have such respect for him and am so happy that he plays for my team…Love his interviews!
Oh Patrice… truly a legend.
Love his attitude and personality. I guess being a part of a huge family (has like 20+ siblings) has forced him to develop a strong personality to get noticed by those around him.
Legend in the making and a great asset to the team both on, and off (apparently) the field.
Good on you mate!! cracking interview!! Nice one about Valencia
He should be given captain armband, because of the love he is having for the club, which he said many times
viva la pat!
evra rocks!!
Patty is a legend. An Evra and Park comedy show, I’d watch it.
READ CAREFULLY WHAT I Said: HAHAHA! Fucking awesome…. haha!
@Macedonia_United
sorry mate.that is reserved for wazza.Rio is unfit most of the time so we need to look at smeone else as giggsy and nev wnt play many games.my vote goes to wazza,maybe not this season bcoz he is under a lot of pressure but after nxt year.
Some already suggested the sitcom idea.
http://therepublikofmancunia.com/park-with-his-best-buds/
Go through the comments.
I freaking love Pat’s attitude.He’s cocky,funny and he’s a good football player as well.One of my favourite players.
Forgot my manners.
Good morning all.
@aig alex is god i agree with you, i didnt say that permanently should be given to him,but for one or two games he will be proud of himself because he loves the team so much
if we are talking of one two games here then i think Good Ol Fletcher also should be given a shot at captaincy..
after evra who do you think is the best left back in the world????
With regards to talk of Rooney being given the armband, id rather he wasnt. Not that he doesnt deserve it. I just dont want to heap any more responsibilty or presure onto him so all he has to think about is scoring goals!
For me Rooney needs to perfect his role as a striker this year, it has been documented enough in posts & comments from Phealen and such.
In my opinion he would be more inclined to track back and be pulled out of position if we gave him the armband now. He would feel responsibile and maybe loose track of his specific duties!
Some might not agree but its my opnion and 2 cents worth!
@Besher
Music before the Barcelona Match??? It certainly wasnt the eye of the tiger or anything to instill fight in them..From their performance it was probably chill out music!
Philipp Lahm..for me..
sorry forgot to mention @sam the kenyan red
With regards to evra i also think he could be an option of playing Left midfield for us this year.
Get Fabio behind him and both alternating on the wing would do a job!!
Evras Pace, Control and Tecnique is first class. By far for me in the top 2 left backs in the world on his day!
@Dakota
Phillip Lahm has shown alot of potential but i dont think he has shown enough consistantancy. Maybe i dont see him enough i dont know!!
@Trevor
I mean he’s pacy, got a good eye and can strike it pretty well too!! Although i agree with the consistency part!! but he was included in the UEFA team of the tournament in 08 so i thought he’s pretty good..
being right footed..he plays left back so i guess the guy’s got something in him..
@trevor
i would rather have evra then fabio,pat is strong defensive unlike fabio
but both are very talented.luky 2 have em
@dakota
mate i agree with ya lahm is very talented,
but can we stay on topic remember scott is watching!!!!!!!!
right on!!! love ya, evra!!
sorry folks.lahm is as good as Evra for me.the only reason Bayern styruggle is bcoz they have a shocking defence.demichelis and van buyten are poor.plus they dont have a right back and played milan outcast Massimo Oddo.The reliance on the left wing where Lahm and Ribery play uis too much.
and then they have Toni.he takes 50 chances to scre one.the most wasteful strikers in the world.some of thne chances my 3 year old cousin will score.
That’s just funny
@aig alex is god
that was funny is your cousin a boy???
we can enroll him in our academy
PAtrice is a superstar
@aig alex is god
I’m pretty sure your cousin has a better goal celebration too!!!
off topic
now that ronaldo is gone,who do you is great ronaldo or messi??
hahaha!!!
Emily has a mean left and right boot, the second best left back in the premiership for me is a guy who is a fuckin asshole
@Sam the Kenyon red
answer Rooney
@Dakota
yes.he is much better in all respects than toni who is an over rated piece of crap.celebrating is the same way every time.
@sam the kenyan red
messi for last season.but iniesta wasnt too far off.he is a player i really admire.but messi is a different class.he can zip past any number of defenders.ronny is 3rd for me after iniesta.
wen he won the award he was best player in the world by miles.even the year before that wen kakwon Ronny was the best but cud nt win bcoz we lost in the Cl to milan and kaka scred 3.
@ghtt
mate thats brilliant but did you just call me the kenyon red?????????
its fucking kenyan!!!!!!!!!!!!
@aig alex is god
please dont remind of milan and kaka!!!
@ghtt
brilliant mate!!
@sam the kenyan red
that was what spurred us on for the next season and we all know what happened.Milan were kicked out by gooners and failed to qualify last year.we won a host of trophies in the same time.SAf realised we did not have anyone who could compete wid gatusso.he brought Hargo and we won immediately.sometimes you need such reality doses to realise your shortcoming and improve and that is what we did.
@sam the kenyan
I was highlighting the fact that as evra was as good going forward, if we were struggleing for options on the left Evra could play Left Midfield with Fabio Behind him
I also prefer Evra ahead of Fabio but i feel Fabio needs some games to mature and reach his immence potential as a player!
The future is bright!!
@sam the kenyan red
Calm down fella! Dont get so stressed over a typo!
Fucking love you Evra!
Back to Evra!!! HAHAH
Do you all recall his Funny interview with Park during the Asia Pre Season tour!
It was funny!
I find evra the sort of cheaky chappy you get in must friend circles! You know the one who always come out with the tounge in cheek comments! Like his Arsenal Comment Last year! I thought that was awsome!.. men against babies!…
Fantastic!…
I would gladly pay to watch Evra and Park on TV! What legends!
sam the kenyan red
sorry mate back on the computer now
an never trust the iphone
i was told yesterday that xfactor starts back next weekend during a conversation about big brother
but the g evra show is a reality tv show i wouldnt mind the misses watching
is there a ROM fantasy premier league?
The Pat and Park Show, definitely one for the future on MUTV.
some gooners dudes told me if saf could loan them either fletch,carrick,hargo,they would definately bag the prem.do you agree with them fellas???
i think evra has taken scott advise cos he has started 2 shoot more this season.
well done scott!!
evra is a legend, but we really need to buy a centre midfielder…
i am hoping fergie is playing the brinkmanship game when saying we will not buy again…
we NEED a top quality midfielder in my opinion…
i’d watch the crap out of the evra/park comedy hour
opinion@manutd.com
Evra is a top geezah… he played a blinder on sunday as well looking forward to seeing him develop into a true united legend this season.
Pat’s class, what a steal he was from Monaco heh? Keep up the good work man!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh3p7E-UCAo&NR=1
@utdforever
i had no idea who he was when he came in with vidic
i heard of vidic but no idea about him and boy did he blow when he came in january
i taught we’d got a flop
then the next season came and my jesus , heinze who???
p.s. attaching links to football chants tut tut tut
get your own gimmick
The Ji -sung Park and Patrice Evra show? I’d watch that in a heartbeat. Are you listening, MUTV?
SB
Does this mean he is at United for life ?
I am depressed after seeing this Vida rumours.
Ronaldo left ? And what ?
Tevez left ? And what ?
Vida ? It would be awful. But we are United (c) Berba
RESPECT THE IPOD OF EVRA!
Totally off topic but … Right I no that sky espn itv and BBC have the rights to football but tomorrow game against burnley isn’t on telly why can’t you for example pay mutv extra fiver a game for example to watch the game live every premier league club could do it makin each team richer brings better players
anyone agree? I no match of the day and football first have the rights but if it’s just your team you pay for if there not on the sky etc y can’t you watch them!! Except actually goin to away games or illegally what you think?
VIDIC IS GOING NO WHERE

Off topic – I’d consider making Vida captain if Rio keep struggling to stay fit. I’m just hoping that it’s not the making of another Ledley King situation (let’s face it, he was immense against ‘pool on Sunday, yet plays 1 game in 3…). I am starting to believe this rumor now and we have 12 months before he does a Ronnie. I think that he like mascherano, the old “my missus doesn’t like England” card is gonna be played a lot more by Vida. Also, the tax law is killing the premiership. Sad, that. Make him captain and he just might stay. Rooney at 23 doesn’t need it yet. He’s going nowhere so why not use it to keep someone.
On topic – Pat is incredible. I was a massive fan of his at Monaco. Loved watching him play, but I assumed he was the natural replacement for Roberto Carlos at Real. WTF happened there, Real? Our gain!
Quick poll – Evra or Irwin? Mr Charisma vs Mr Consistent? (And, No, u can’t pick both with him to play in left Mid!)
Sorry lads!
Irwin winds every time for me! Evra might be More flash but by christ Irwin scored some incredable goals
And i dont really remember him playing a bad match!
If he didnt score you didnt hear about him much but you also didnt hear about the other winger, If you watched closely you would have seen the other winger in irwins Pocket Only letting him out every now and then to play cat and mouse!
I have not ever seen a more consistant player who popped up with so many goals from a full back position!
On another topic does anyone know of any sites to watch live football on?
Evra is something special.
Not sure if he is better than Clichy.
It was interesting to see Nani start.
Good to see Fergie give the faith.
Full analysis of the diamond formation
Sir Alex back said you can count everyone of irwins bad games on one hand but you’d be wasting 4 fingers , and then I’d fight you on the 5 th
Evra versus clichy who’s da best? I think vida’s of nxt season, once the wife’s unsettled thats that. If barca really want em 20 million plus yaya toure, can play centerhalf or midfield that shud be the deal or just tell barca to get stuffed.
GHTT, emilys a star mate.
@ GHTT – true what you said, but Pat is better when he’s on form that Irwin was in my opinion (he does more damage on the wing although Irwin couldn’t half cross a wicked ball). O’Shea’s fast becoming the new Irwin, no matter where he plays. Always under-rated, forever under-estimated, but you know a guy is in control when he just stands there smiling back at ya’! Like Yorkie back in his day, O’Sheasy just keeps on grinning. Just hope he ain’t shagging Jordan too!
All of them had the pride to wear the United shirt. You know what that means? The making of a legend.
Arsenal 1up bit jammy the goal, rent boys 1 down.
sunderland 1-0 get innn
lets buy bent in 2 years time lads
2-1 Chelsea by the by
3-1 Chelsea
Skip to 2:09 Nani Classic.

Cleverly and drinkwater both scored tonight not bad start for our loan players
Loved the Patrice interview, he just cracks me up every time. When Tevez left I worried that might affect Park ‘n’Pat as the 3 of them were big mates, but he seems as bouncy and irrepressible as ever. It was great he got so worked up in the Care in the Community Shield.
willierednut
thank you
Hi guys. I can’t believe Liverpool are close to signing Greek international defender Kyrgiakos. It will be weird to want one of my own to fail miserably. I don’t know if he can help them or not. He did have a good spell at Rangers once.
Did someone compared Evra with Clichy? What an insult! Clichy is fast, but no way he can be compared to Evra. The only other left back who can be compared to Evra in the world is, sadly, rentboy Cashley. He is a prick, but no denying he is good.
@READ CAREFULLY WHAT, right back at me! Nice one!
Everyone who was worried abt vida and his Barca intrest.his agent has denied those reports.here’s the story
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5499567,00.html
Fair play to Tom Cleaverly, scored on his debut fot Watford. He must have only been there a few days.
its good to hear that our youngsters are doing so well.scoring goals and i m sure they will get plenty of games too.hope they can make the cut at Old Trafford.
evra is great
WONDERFUL PLAYER & WONDERFUL CHARACTER AS WELL – I LIKE THE WAY HE ACTS ON THE PITCH = always 100% IN IT!
Today, I am gonna watch the game in the pub (Zlata hvezda for those who are in Prague (CZ)
) ) with wearing my last seasons home kit … with guess who on the back…? 
for those answered “3″ EVRA – 1 meaningless point
Allez Patrice!
