Former Manchester United captain Patrice Evra is delighted seeing Willy Kambwala make his breakthrough this season.

Kambwala admits he drew inspiration from Evra when first joining United from Sochaux.

“I was like 'okay, if he did it from here, I can do it as well'," he told manutd.com.

"We had a main building [at Les Ulis] with all the shirts on the wall and I was like 'yeah, one day I want my shirt to be on this wall'. So it was really inspirational. Every coach over there was talking about [those players] because they had them when they were kids. It helps you to know what you have to do."

In response, Evra said: "That's all we asked, passion and love. Well done Wills, I'm proud of you."
