Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has denied rumours that he wants to quit the club in the summer.

Speaking earlier this week, United manager David Moyes offered his support to Evra and praised the player's influence at the club. The 32-year-old has been at the centre of a public feud with former France international Bixente Lizarazu, who Evra has accused of deliberately trying to tarnish his reputation while talking about him on French television. Moyes was quizzed about his French full-back at Tuesday's press conference ahead of United's UEFA Champions League game against Real Sociedad and he had nothing but praise for him. "I don't know how you see Patrice in France but in Manchester we have a very high opinion of him," he was quoted by L'Equipe. "He has been a great figure in the dressing room since I have been at the club."
