Monaco keen on Patrice Evra

Daily Mirror has learned that Ligue 1 side Monaco are stepping up their attempts to sign former player Patrice Evra from Manchester United.

The Frenchman will be out of contract in June and he is almost certain to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.

Evra is reportedly ready to wait for the new boss Louis van Gaal to be appointed before he makes a decision on his future.

Nevertheless, his former club Monaco are desperate to lure the 32-year-old back to the Principality and they have offered the defender a lucrative two-year deal.

And with the Stade Louis II outfit securing Champions League qualification, they are hoping Evra will ultimately accept their offer.

The France international looks set to leave Red Devils after spending last eight and a half years at Old Trafford, during which he made a total of 272 Premier League appearances and scored 7 goals.
