The French left back has admitted that it was very difficult for him to leave Manchester United this summer, but despite the emotion behind his move, Evra felt a new challenge awaited him at Juventus.
He has been quoted as saying: “It was very difficult to leave Man United because it was like my second family. But as soon as I knew there was interest from Juve, I knew it would be a new challenge for me because I have to repay the faith they showed in me.”
Evra joined the Italian giants for £1,500,000 this summer after a highly decorated eight years at Old Trafford, that included winning the Premier League five times and a Champions League trophy.
He added: “Now I am a Juventus player, it’s a massive club with a big history.
It doesn’t change from when you are with Manchester United, when you arrive you have the same number of fans. It shows you how big a club this is, how many trophies they have won.
And that’s why I chose to come and play for this club, because I know all that matters is winning, this is the winning mentality and I love that.”
