Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has given the reasons why he left the club for Serie A champions Juventus.
The French international called time on his career with Man United to join Juventus this summer.
Evra, who made 379 appearances for the Red Devils, said that last season’s campaign under David Moyes played a part in his exit, but also touched on needed a new challenge following the World Cup with his country as another reason.
He said as quoted in the Express: “I was having personal problems at Manchester United and the only team that I wanted was Juventus.
“It is a club that has history and goals. [Former boss] Antonio Conte called me many times to convince me to join. Now I’m very happy at Juventus.
“Everyone, from doctors to the press officers, give you their best. After a month of hard work I’m happy to be here.
“The preparation has been very hard, maybe the hardest I’ve done. Everyone should remember that the Evra of United represents the past. I do my best in training and I always try to listen to the coach.”
