Patrice Evra: Man Utd defender wants Juventus move
Patrice Evra has asked to leave Manchester United - but stopped short of handing in a transfer request.
Juventus had earlier approached the Old Trafford club over the France international's availability.
United recently triggered a clause in 33-year-old Evra's contract that saw him sign a one-year deal.
However, the player has contacted officials at United in a bid to push through the move to Italy and it may happen on Thursday.
Evra was part of the France side that was knocked out of the World Cup by Germany
Evra made 45 appearances for United in all competitions last season as they finished seventh in the Premier League after a disappointing campaign under former manager David Moyes.
He was part of the France World Cup squad and played in four out of their five games, including the quarter-final defeat by Germany.
Evra joined United for £5.5m from Monaco in January 2006.
He has made 379 appearances for the club, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008. It was anticipated he would replace Nemanja Vidic as club captain following the Serb's summer exit to Inter Milan.
Manager Louis van Gaal does have a ready-made replacement for Evra in new signing Luke Shaw should a deal with Juventus eventually be concluded, although with Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs no longer available, it would mean a significant loss of experience.

Could this be the start of our Vidal transfer we all are hoping for?

I thought Evra had wanted the contract extension, but according to that article, United triggered the extension.

So now we only have one left back in the squad? I was/am probably in a minority that thinks we should have kept Buttner IF Evra wanted to leave, just as back up to Shaw

I'm the same, which is why if Evra leaves we have to get someone else. But if we get someone else young, that's going to really hurt Shaw's progress. If we knew Evra was leaving we should have tried to get Cole.

I don't think Cole would come to another PL club out of respect for Chelsea
He just doesn;t seem that type

But he left Arsenal for Chelsea, so maybe if he was after one more payday. I just think if we knew Evra wanted to leave, then we could have at least tried.

He'd be a threat from corners if we could extend him by a foot or two.
