Paris Saint-Germain target Patrice Evra

Manchester United defender Patrice Evra could be tempted back to his native France by a bid from Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

Evra supported PSG as a child and was part of their youth setup for a brief time before moving to Italy in search of regular playing time.

The Independent believes that United are willing to let Evra go for around £5m and will renew their interest in Everton full-back Leighton Baines as a replacement.

The 31-year-old has two years left on his contract at Old Trafford and is serving as a stand-in captain while Nemanja Vidic battles back from injury.

Evra's £90,000-a-week wages would not prove a stumbling block to any potential deal, with PSG backed by the Qatar Investment Authority.
