Man Utd fullback Evra backs Fergie: Tevez told me too about quitting in 2013
Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra has backed Sir Alex Ferguson's claims that Carlos Tevez always planned to quit Europe and return to South America.
A £40million move to Brazilian club Corinthians broke down last week, but Tevez remains determined to leave Manchester City and be nearer his two young daughters in Argentina.
Evra said: "I'm very close to Carlito and even when he was playing for United when he was 23 or 24, he told me that another two years in the UK and he would be back in Argentina.
"I said, 'Carlito, you're young'. But he told me, 'Yeah, but I've won everything. I want to go back closer to my family and play in my country'.
"Now I know he wasn't lying. He's doing what he told me three years ago, and I'm not surprised at all."

GKR - man utd know their role? why don't you know you own role you bloody loser.
GKR, why would Evra lie?? Why would Tevez lie? Well Evra has no reason to lie where Tevez wants another big money transfer to line his pockets and his agents pockets too so go figure Moron.
really hard to believe this old man & that france guy too. can man utd just know their role, shut their mouth, if so free, why just make more comments about ur ugly shit giggs.
