Former
Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has revealed that he is still playing
at the age of 36 because he still has '24 brothers and sisters to feed'.
Evra spent
eight years at United between 2006 and 2014 and the Frenchman was back at Old
Trafford on Sunday for the testimonial of Michael Carrick.
The
36-year-old, who currently plays for Ligue 1 side Marseille, was reunited with
many of his former team-mates as a 'Manchester United 2008 XI' took on an
All-Stars team to mark Carrick's 11 years at the club.
Carrick
recently signed a new deal to stay at Old Trafford for another year but Evra
hopes the midfielder will follow in his footsteps and play for a while longer
yet.
'I hope he
will play for many years, he has to keep playing like me. I am still playing
because I still have 24 brothers and sisters to feed so I can’t stop, I have to
run,' he told ITV.
