Evra Makes Clever Choice

The French defender Patrice Evra opted to leave Old Trafford and join Juventus with one of the main reasons which is believes that the veteran defender decided to make this move is because of Luke Shaw who is a younger option at the left-back position for Louis van Gaal.

Even though Luke Shaw is only 19 years old, it did not stop Manchester United’s officials on paying Southampton around €30 million in order to sign the young player who is considered to be as one of the most promising stars around the world.

Having paid such a substantial amount of cash to sign Luke Shaw, it means that Patrice Evra would have to settle for a place in the sidelines of Old Trafford but Evra decided instead to make a move to a club where his chances of playing in the main are guaranteed and the experienced did not hesitate in looking around for the other options and eventually decided to join the Italian side Juventus.

Juventus has now claimed the Italian League title, Scudetto for the 3rd consecutive year but Patrice Evra is hoping that he can help his new club on winning it for another successive instance as the Frenchman went on talking about some of his goals now that he joined Juventus and displayed emotions ash he said just how tough it was for him to leave Manchester United.

Patrice Evra said: “It was very difficult to leave Man United because it was like my second family. But as soon as I knew there was interest from Juve, I knew it would be a new challenge for me because I have to repay the faith they showed in me. I have to show more as a Juventus player because we have to win the league four times in a row. It’s never easy to win four times in a row. I won it with Man United three times but four times is really difficult. And we have to do much better in the Champions League.”
