December 25, 2009 by Richard
Manchester United added power to their defense by adding more power via signing Patrice Evra, a very fast defender, from AS Monaco. His performances had a lot of people wondering if the Frenchman was a poor signing. But in 2006-07 he was cited in the Premier League as the best left-back. The Dakar-born player transferred to United for a fee that was not disclosed, believed to be in the £5m range with a contract to last until the summer of 2009. He started his profession with Paris St Germain and had a short stint with Marsala and Monza before signing for Nice in 2000. He worked for two years at the club before moving to AS Monaco.
A well-known member of the Monaco side that achieve the Champions League final in 2004, Evra followed players such as Ludovic Giuly and Fernando Morientes, and then coach Didier Deschamps, left the principality team. He began a centre forward as a youth, before transferring to the left wing. He was again transferred to left-back in 2003 at Monaco.
