Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra says he's always trading jibes with Sir Alex Ferguson - in French!

Former Monaco star Evra, who won his 10th trophy with United as they came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the Carling Cup Final last Sunday.

And Evra, seen joking with Ferguson before kick-off at Wembley, said: "The manager and I wind one another up all the time.

"We exchange a number of words in French. There is a good relationship between Ferguson and me.

"As long as I do my job on the pitch we have a good laugh together. But the day I have a poor game I come in for the hairdryer treatment from him."
