Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has confirmed he will try his hand at boxing next month against social media star Adam Saleh.

The 40-year-old ex-France left-back - who won five Premier League titles and the Champions League in eight years at United - retired from professional football in July 2019.

He has since made appearances as a pundit on Sky Sports and has delivered passionate rants previously when discussing his former club on the channel.
