Evra deal won't end Man Utd Shaw pursuit

Patrice Evra's new deal at Manchester United won't affect their move for Southampton fullback Luke Shaw.

The Daily Star says the Southampton ace had been touted as a possible replacement for Evra but it seems that he will now be competing with the Frenchman to be the club's first choice left-back.

Evra, 33, was set to become a free agent this summer and was linked with a move back to France but he has decided to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

New United manager Louis van Gaal will be pleased to have kept Evra at the club as the Red Devils are currently lacking experienced players after losing club legends Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
