Patrice Evra has revealed that he is yet to begin negotiations over a new contract, despite press rumours to the contrary.
The Frenchman's superb form this season has prompted newspaper talk of a new deal but, while Evra is keen to prolong his time in Manchester, there is no rush to begin negotiations.
"I have one year left after this one," he is quoted as telling The Daily Express. "People think I have extended my contract. But it is not true. We have not even started to discuss it. It is said the club want to prolong (the deal), but there is nothing for the moment."
The 26-year-old full back has become a mainstay in the miserly United backline this season, juggling his defensive duties with a bombarding support to the Reds' attack, and he is revelling in life at Old Trafford.
"I think I have found the right balance, the one I have always sought between my attacking and defending," he said. "These days I have kept my attacking desire, but I have learnt to love the combat.
"I have the feeling I started my job when signing here. It is another planet. I do not know how long I will stay, but having this experience is a privilege. United have this identity. I have a growing love for this club. I feel Mancunian deep down."
