Nationality:
French
Clubs: Monaco, Man Utd
Position: Defender, left back

Scouting Report
Patrice Evra is a tough tackling defender. He is aggressive in the tackled. Evra is quick and frequently gets in advanced positions to supply crosses for Man Utd attackers. Although not the tallest of defenders, Evra has a good jump and is strong in the air. Unlike many of the attack-minded players who play in the same position, Evra is a solid tackler that never pulls out of a tackle. He is left footed and his right foot is considerably weaker than his prefered left.

Evra’s desire to get forward means that he doesn’t always pick the right moments to do it. With Cristiano Ronaldo also mainly playing on the same flank, his bad decisions can leave Man Utd exposed to quick counter-attacks, particularly whan an attack breaks down suddenly. He can be agitated wasily when he feels that decisions are going against him.

Anything else?
He is a martial arts enthusiast.
