However, despite his shambolic show-off for Manchester United, the president of Los Blancos Florentino Perez is reportedly a big fan of the skilful winger and he wants him to replace the ageing world player of the year, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Evra claims he had a conversation with Ferguson in spring 2013, just weeks before the legendary manager announced his retirement, in which Ferguson told him he was “99% sure” that Ronaldo was going to rejoin United that summer.
Ferguson, however, made a decision to call time on his illustrious career with United and any Ronaldo deal became highly unlikely. It also challenges new arrivals.
