Patrice Evra 'asks to leave Manchester United amid Juventus interest'

Patrice Evra has reportedly asked to leave Manchester United following interest from Juventus.

The Frenchman has been widely expected to seal a move to the Serie A side, despite recently agreeing a new one-year extension with the former Premier League champions.

It is believed that the North-West outfit will not block a move for the left-back, who has been at Old Trafford for eight years.

According to BBC Sport, Evra has told United officials that he wants to move on to pastures new due to his family situation.

Evra has won five league titles and one European Cup during his time at United.
