# Evra still hurt by United exit

Ex-Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra is still hurt by the manner in which he ended up leaving the Premier League side, according to what he told *RMC* (via [Sportsmole](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/man-utd/news/evra-annoyed-by-manchester-united-exit_252406.html)).

The French defender, who now plays for defending Serie A champions Juventus, left the club in 2014 after the arrival of current United manager Louis van Gaal.

Having spent 8 years at Old Trafford, Evra found himself departing England for Italy, despite having signed a one-year contract extension just two months earlier.

Speaking to RMC, he said:

“It’s still hard to talk about my exit – But one day, when my career is over, I’ll be able to speak more openly about it.”

Evra was the best left-back in the world for a few seasons when United won the 2008 Champions League in Moscow – and he is held in high regard by United fans, who love his passion for the club.

One special relationship Evra had was with Ji-Sung Park; the pair became very close friends as they won Premier League titles together, and Evra was visibly upset when the South Korean left the club.

He was a vital cog in a Juventus side which won the league and their domestic cup, as well as reaching the Champions League final last season, but it’s not where he wants to be:

“I came to Turin above all for my family because at Manchester they had inserted a clause in our agreement which changed the situation considerably. It really annoyed me.”

Maybe like Park, he’ll one day return as an ambassador for the club. We love you,, Patrice.
