The Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has signed a four-year extension to his contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2012. The French left-back, who is in currently with the national team at Euro 2008, has won two Premier League titles and the Champions League in his time with United.
"The last two-and-a-half seasons have been the start of a dream for me," said Evra. "It is a pleasure and an honour to be part of this fantastic side and to be coached by Sir Alex Ferguson and his staff."
Ferguson was similarly enthusiastic about the 27-year-old's performances. "Patrice has been a key part of the club's success in the last two seasons," he said. "He has developed into one of the best full-backs in world football."
