Evra extends United stay

Manchester United is delighted to announce that Patrice Evra's contract has been extended by a further year, taking the popular Frenchman's stay at Old Trafford into a tenth season.

Evra has made 379 appearances for the Reds, scoring 10 goals, and he has also stood in as captain when previous club skipper Nemanja Vidic was absent through injury.

The French full-back was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Monaco in January 2006 and has gone on to win five Premier League titles, three League Cups, the Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup during his time in Manchester.*
