**Manchester United fans flocked to Twitter following the news of Old Trafford legend [Patrice Evra’s retirement](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11772753/patrice-evra-retires-former-man-united-defender-will-go-down-as-premier-league-great) from football.**

The now retired full-back joined from [Monaco](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4598800.stm) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrice-evra/erfolge/spieler/5285), 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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/33010277) and [win the Serie A title](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/dec/13/juventus-serie-a-fiorentina) 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:
