Man Utd hero Evra in Galatasaray, Fenerbahce talks

Manchester United hero Patrice Evra is in talks over a move to Turkish football.

France Football says he has been in talks with Turkish rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce - after the free agent has been training in Dubai.

Evra has been in talks about a free transfer "in the coming days".

The former Manchester United and Juventus defender has been out of contract since parting company with Marseille earlier this season.

Evra was fired by the Ligue 1 club and given a seven month suspension by Uefa after kung-fu kicking a fan in November before a Marseille match.

It means the 36-year-old is suspended from playing in Uefa matches until June 30, but can play in the SuperLig if either of the Turkish giants decide to take him on.
