Evra Happy On The Wing
-
Patrice Evra has told Manchester United he is happy to play in midfield if required to do so.
The French ace was given a wide midfield berth in Sunday's Community Shield with Mikael Silvestre starting at left full-back.
Evra sometimes played further up the field for Monaco and is happy giving United an extra option as it increases his chances of starting for Sir Alex Ferguson.
"Playing as a midfielder gives the team an additional option," Evra told L'Equipe.
"Plus it increases my chances of starting. I did well because I've already played there for Monaco."
Evra is delighted to kick off the season with a trophy, but acknowledges it will be tough to reclaim their Premier League crown.
"The Community Shield is a trophy and to start the season with a trophy is a good thing," he continued.
"We have to retain our title, we have no choice. Everyone has strengthened so winning the title will be harder than ever." -
He's actually pretty good on the wing. Maybe he should stick to that position while United get a defensive left back!
Cheers.

we already have, in my opinion at least, a very good defensive left back in Gabby Heinze. i personally feel he offers more protection than Evra, but is less of an attacking threat.Originally posted by CKeer:He's actually pretty good on the wing.

We'll see, if Evra does play there, it'll mean we'll have plenty of players vying for that one position. There's Giggs, Nani, Ronaldo, Anderson and even Rooney at times. -
Henize is destined to leave. No point keeping an unhappy player. So in that case, United has to start looking for a better left back other than Silvestre who in my opinion, totally sucked.Originally posted by Othello_Red:we already have, in my opinion at least, a very good defensive left back in Gabby Heinze. i personally feel he offers more protection than Evra, but is less of an attacking threat.

Maybe Pique deserves a shot.
