Evra prepares to return to MU

Therefore, MU's board of directors is considering letting Evra take on a role at the team. Currently, the Red Devils are still in the process of hunting for a sporting director. However, according to the British media, the former French player is likely to take on the role of ambassador or liaison.
As a former player of the club, Evra has a very good relationship with the first team players, including his two compatriots Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial. Evra has given many useful tips to help MU exploit their strengths best.

Revealing the time De Gea extended his contract with MU
De Gea's current contract with MU will expire at the end of this season. According to sourcesDaily Mail, MU will likely activate the 1-year extension clause with the Spanish goalkeeper in the 2019 winter transfer window.
Recently, De Gea refused to sign a new contract because he was not offered a salary of 300,000 pounds/week, while MU only agreed to pay 250,000 pounds/week.
However, the sheetEvening Standardhas confirmed that the reason De Gea has not signed a new contract with MU is not because of his salary. Accordingly, the Spanish goalkeeper feels disappointed with MU's ability to compete for major titles in recent seasons.
