Patrice Evra reveals goalscoring secret

Patrice Evra has insisted that an increase in belief is behind his goalscoring contribution for Manchester United this season.

The French defender has found the net three times so far - more than he has managed in any other campaign since joining the Red Devils in the winter of 2006.

Speaking after his latest goal during today's 1-1 draw at Swansea City, Evra conceded that his strikes have a lot to do with the service that he has been receiving from his teammates.

"It's not an accident," he told MUTV. "I've started to believe that I can score. That's why whenever we get a corner kick I try to put myself in the right place.

"It's always a good delivery too. Wayne Rooney has set up two of my goals, and today it was Van Persie."

Evra has scored a total of six goals from United.
