Patrice Evra reveals how he was ready to ATTACK Luis Suarez in a central Manchester street - but held back when he saw his wife and kids - as he thought 'this is my moment' after their 2011 racism row

Former Manchester United star Patrice Evra has revealed he held back a burning desire to physically attack Luis Suarez in revenge for being racially abused until one day he saw the former Liverpool player out shopping and was all set to finally do it.

Evra told how he had previously only just managed to restrain himself during the infamous game where Uruguayan Suarez called him an insulting Spanish N word while playing for Liverpool - and again he came close at the later game when Suarez snubbed shaking his hand.

But Evra - who says his problem is he still likes a fight - said he saw his chance to retaliate while out in Manchester.
