The ex-Juventus and Manchester United star has told the 24-year-old that he needs to bulk up and says the coming weeks will be a test of his mentality
Patrice Evra has told Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe that if he is going to make the grade in the Premier League, he will have to work on the physical side of his game.
Ex-France international Evra, who made the move from Ligue 1 to Manchester United in 2006, struggled initially with the rigours of life in English football.
Along with Nemanja Vidic, he took to the gym, improved his bulk and became a long-time servant of the Old Trafford club, winning many honours over the years.
