Manchester United hero Patrice Evra is being linked with a shock return to Old Trafford.

Evra, reports RMC, has spoken with United vice-chairman exec Ed Woodward about an off-field role at the club. The Frenchman took in Saturday's defeat at West Ham with Woodward at London stadium.

Evra hasn't retired, having come off contract at the Hammers in June. However, he could now walk into a posting at United to beef up the club's football management team.

Evra revealed last season that Jose Mourinho wanted to re-sign him while he was still with Juventus, but the move was blocked by directors.
