Patrice Evra is the next United player in line to sign a new
extended contract, and the Reds full-back says he couldnt be
happier at Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old has been one of the Reds outstanding performers
this season.
His current deal expires in around 18 months, but Evra is keen to
extend his stay in Manchester.
"I love the club and I am really enjoying my football," he told
MUTV.
"I've got one season left on my contract after this one, but
Manchester United know my situation. I'm just concentrating on
playing, I'll leave the rest to my agent and the club."
Evra modestly, almost reluctantly, accepts praise for his
performances this term.
"I work hard every day," he said. "Football for me is like a
pyramid and you have to always try and stay at the top. I need to
continue my work. Everyone at the club has really helped and I have
no excuse not to do well."
Not only is Patrice proving popular on the pitch, his personality
makes him a well-liked figure off it among team-mates and with the
manager - except when international matters are at stake.
"I remember when France lost to Scotland, when I got back to
Manchester the boss and Fletch absolutely killed me! Now it's my
turn," Patrice joked.
Evra helped France secure qualification to Euro 2008 alongside
Italy, at the expense of Scotland.
However, he says he would have gladly seen Scotland go through, so
long as it wasnt at the expense of les bleus.
"I would have been happy if France and Scotland had qualified, he
added.
"They did very well in the qualifying games. Conceding the goal
after just two minutes against Italy made it difficult, but the
atmosphere was absolutely amazing at Hampden Park.
"I was certain that Scotland would beat Italy, but football can be
like that."
