Evra happy at Old Trafford for now

Patrice Evra’s agent has quashed talk of an imminent move to Real Madrid by confirming Evra will remain at Manchester United until July.

The France international has been linked with a move to the Spanish giants in the January transfer window, reportedly as part of a deal that would see Real striker Karim Benzema link up with Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

Evra stoked the rumours by telling Spanish media he would be happy at the Bernabeu under Jose Mourinho.

“I am very happy in Manchester and I have not thought about leaving,” the 29-year-old told Intergoles.

“But if Alex wants to use me to buy another player, then Real Madrid is the best alternative to United.”

“If that option comes and United are positive about the operation, then I would accept with pleasure.”

“I have a contract until 2012 with United and if people think I’m upset about being here, they are wrong.”

Evra’s agent Federico Pastorelo said his client is committed to seeing out the season with United before examining his future.

“We will sit down in the summer with Manchester United and decide whether he will extend his contract or move on,” Pastorelo told Sport.co.uk.

“But for the moment there is nothing special to say on the situation.”

“There has been interest, and I have read about Real Madrid but really the only official interest was from Inter Milan last summer.”

“We had a long chat with Sir Alex Ferguson and it was decided he would stay in Manchester. His contract runs out in the summer of 2012 and there he is concentrating and focused on this season.”

    Evra moving would be quite a loss. He is one of the most consistent leftbacks around and they are hard to find.

    He defends and attacks on the wings. He is a vesatile player but if he gets an opportunity to better his career- we should let him go.
