I'm still 'annoyed' over Manchester United exit, Evra

The Frenchman has revealed that he felt compelled to leave Old Trafford in 2014 because the Premier League side changed the terms of his contract

Juventus defender Patrice Evra has admitted that he is still "annoyed" by the manner of his Manchester United exit.


The 34-year-old was keen to continue his career at Old Trafford but eventually opted to leave for Turin in the summer of 2014, after the Premier League outfit changed the terms of his contract.

Evra has no regrets over his decision to join the Serie A champions but remains bitterly upset by the circumstances surrounding his United departure.

"It's still hard to talk about my exit, but one day - when my career's over - I'll be able to speak more openly about it," the French full-back told RMC.

"I came to Turin above all for my family because at Manchester they had inserted a clause in our agreement which changed the situation considerably. It really annoyed me.

"But I don't regret this move, which in the end has proven to be more than positive.

"I'm happy in Serie A, even if it was more a coincidence that I ended up in Turin than a choice.

"My aim is to keep on winning with Juventus and the national team, particularly since we're the host nation [at Euro 2016]."
