Man Utd fullback Evra: Real Madrid best option if I must leave

Patrice Evra admits he would be prepared to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has concerns over Evra's contract situation and is aware of Real and Barcelona's interest.

Quoted in the Spanish media by Intergoles, Evra revealed: "I am very happy in Manchester and I have not thought about leaving, but if Alex (Ferguson) wants to use me to buy another player, then I admit that Real Madrid is the best alternative to Manchester United.

"If that option comes and Manchester United is positive about the operation, then I would accept with pleasure."

But Evra insisted his first loyalty was to United.

"I have a contract until 2012 with Manchester United and if people think I'm upset about being here, they are wrong."
