Patrice Evra outlines key conversation he had with Sir Alex Ferguson that convinced star former France fullback to join Manchester United and REJECT a move to Liverpool

Patrice Evra has revealed how a meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson convinced him to choose Manchester United over Liverpool in 2006.

The Frenchman has earned the status as one of Man United's all-time greats after winning five Premier League titles, three League Cups, and the Champions League during an eight year spell at Old Trafford.

However, Evra has now revealed how he could have moved to United's arch rivals Liverpool if it wasn't for a meeting with the club's legendary manager at an airport in Paris.

After a breakthrough season at Monaco, Evra revealed the discussions he held with Ferguson that lead to him joining United.
