Having competed in Manchester United between 2006 and 2014, o Patrice Evra he was one of the last figures of the era Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
And according to what the Frenchman told John Obi Mikel’s podcast, the legendary Scottish manager had other ambitions before retiring 2013!
Specifically, the veteran fullback claimed that “When he left, it was the saddest day. I didn’t cry, I was shocked. And that’s because two weeks ago he called me into his office and said “look at all these people, they think I’m going to retire. I’ll be here another ten years, but we have to win more Champions Leagues”.
And he told me that Cristiano Ronaldo was 99% agreed to return and that Bale was also booked. It was needed 200 million pounds to take them and the team refused. And now, they give a billion to each…
It was in 2013, right before he retired, they had left the office I was thinking “Ronaldo is coming back, Bale is coming, we are back”.
