Evra joined the Red Devils in 2006 and his contract was set to expire next summer. He has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford but the new deal put an end to speculation.

"Patrice has been a key part of the Club's success in the last two seasons," manager Alex Ferguson told the club's official website.

"He's developed into one of the best full-backs in world football and his infectious personality has helped build the incredible team spirit that exists at Old Trafford."

Evra has been a key figure in Manchester’s Premier League and Champions League triumphs.

“It's a pleasure and an honor to be part of this fantastic side and to be coached by Sir Alex Ferguson and his staff. United is more than a club - it's a family I am proud to be a part of and that's why it's always been a first choice for me,” he said.
