Patrice Evra is hoping his good friend Carlos Tevez turns out in Sunday's Manchester derby. Manchester City's Tevez is a major doubt for the eagerly-anticipated showdown between United and City at Old Trafford.
"I have been joking with him about the reception he will get," said Evra.
"I don't know if the fans will boo him or clap him. He did a great job at Manchester United. He respected the shirt and the fans understand that.
"But if they boo him I will join in," he joked.
It is clear, despite reaching two Champions League finals and winning a couple of league titles during his 'loan' spell with United, Tevez is now firmly in the blue camp.
"I have had a message from him saying they are going to win. I am not so sure," said Evra.
"I just hope he plays. It will be special to play against him because he is such a good friend.
"But he is a City player now and we cannot let him beat Manchester United."
