Evra: Settled
Manchester United ace Patrice Evra is keen to sign a new deal at Old Trafford.
United are reportedly preparing a new contract for Evra to tie him down long-term.
Evra, who has a year-and-a-half to run on his current contract, has established himself as United's first-choice left back and is a key member of Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
Ferguson is keen to secure his top stars on new long-term contracts and Evra is set to be rewarded for his fine form with an extension.
Evra's representative Federico Pastorello confirmed the France international would be happy to extend his stay at the champions.
"Patrice is under contract until 2009 and he is very happy at Manchester United," Pastorello told skysports.com.
"He has a great relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson and he has a lot of respect for him.
"He would be happy to extend his stay as he enjoys playing with such great players and such a great club."
