Evra Still 'Annoyed' By Manchester United Exit

Patrice Evra was "annoyed" at the manner of his departure from Manchester United but insists he has had no regrets since joining Juventus.

The France international left United for Juve in July 2014, just two months after he had signed a one-year contract extension at Old Trafford, and shortly after Louis van Gaal had taken over as David Moyes' permanent replacement.

Evra enjoyed a successful first season in Turin, winning the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia, but he's still sore over the way his eight-year association with United ended.

"It's still hard to talk about my exit," Evra told French broadcaster RMC. "But one day, when my career is over, I'll be able to speak more openly about it.

"I came to Turin above all for my family because at Manchester they had inserted a clause in our agreement which changed the situation considerably. It really annoyed me.

"But I don't regret this move, which in the end has proven to be more than positive."

Evra was one of several high-profile players allowed to leave Old Trafford in the summer of 2014, as the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Shinji Kagawa and Danny Welbeck also departed.
