Manchester United fans flocked to Twitter following the news of Old Trafford legend Patrice Evra’s retirement from football.
The now retired full-back joined from Monaco in the summer of 2006 for a fee believed to be around £5.5m.
Evra went on to enjoy a fruitful spell at Manchester United, making more than 350 appearances for the club and winning a total of nine major trophies, including three Premier League titles in a row.
It wasn’t just England where the 38-year-old enjoyed success. Evra later joined Italian side Juventus and went on to reach a Champions League final and win the Serie A title in 2015.
However, he’s called time on his long career, and fans showed their love for the left-back on Twitter.
Here is a selection of tweets following the announcement of Evra’s retirement:
