Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has been left in the dark over any new contract at Old Trafford.

Evra, who joined United in the January transfer window in 2006 for £5.5million from Monaco, has one-year to run on his present deal and is keen to agree new terms.

But while Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Michael Carrick and have agreed long-term deals, Evra has yet to receive an offer.

Summer move

The France international full-back has revealed his representative is in contact with United, but the Premier League champions have yet to signal a fresh agreement.

"My agent is speaking to the club. There has been one meeting and nothing since," Evra said in The Sun.

"I have one year left. The ball is in United's court."

The news will alert a number of clubs across Europe who could consider a summer move for the 26-year-old, but Evra insists he is focused upon helping United secure a domestic-European Double.

Double

After helping United retain their Premier League title, Evra is now keen to land the UEFA Champions League when the Red Devils meet Chelsea in the final in Moscow on 21st May.

"My job was to concentrate on winning the title and I have done it," Evra added.

"Now my job is to concentrate on winning the Champions League. Let's see what happens after that.

"It was very important for me to win the league, not because of my new contract but to prove that last season was not an accident."
