God bless you, Paddy, you beautiful man.
Will he get a testemonial? Think he deserves it.
Whatever player is next to have a testimonial, I'm sure he and Vidic will be back to be involved.
In 2 years time, Vidic and Evra should have a joint one versus either Juve or Inter (or some weird combination of both?)
No doubt we will be in for another left back . Very sad to see Evra go . A massive loss to the changing room and on the pitch.
Gonna also miss those pre-match vs Arsenal interviews.
Great player, will be missed.
I didnt realise he asked to leave... will still miss him and his constant brain farts
I am going to miss him, top player and a great guy to have in our team.
My favourite current United player. Gutted!
One of my favourites, very sad to think about him leaving. An exceptional player for us, and such a strong personality - I particularly admired how brilliantly he handled everything he was put through by Suarez and co. Class act
I wish him all the best, and will miss him tremendously.

The first one will go down as one of my favorite moments watching football. Evra taking the piss with the racist cannibal.
Has served us well but the right time for him to go. Things really are going to look very different next season.
It is a sad day for united, the pieces were in full motion since fergie called it a day, it was almost like the experienced players wanted to see out this bad period and help the club has much as they could. Now they feel the club could be in good shape again in the future, and you have seen the exodus of players leave, like they have done their part. Time for a new generation
2013
fergie retires
2014 within a space of 6 months, we have seen players move on the heart beat of the past 8 years. it started with vidic, giggs called it a day, then Ferdinand moves on, and evra decides for a new challenge, same as vidic.
I expect more to follow, and hopefully anderson fellaini fletcher nani and young are moved on, so we can bring in much better players

It's still football's greatest victory over racism.
So now basically we now have as leaders a guy that has been here for only 2 seasons, a scouser that puts in a transfer request every 3 years and Michael fecking Carrick... I don't feel that is any experienced player left to teach other what United is all about and also be an example on and off teh field.
Disappointing.
Disappointing.
I think what's actually happened is that Evra probably wanted to leave at the end of this season a long time ago. However, United extended his contract by executing the clause. Clearly Evra still wants to leave and is now asking for the move. I don't think it was ever our intention to let him go, but he deserves the respect he will get. I agree we need someone lined up.
Erm, what about Antonia Valencia... he's erm, captain of Ecuador....
Will miss the character terribly, defensive lapses not so much.
Is Evra to Juventus confirmed?
Such sad news! He will be sorely missed both for his performance and his dedication as a red. Not sure why he made such decision (it's obvious the wife's intention is just a comsmetic reason), but really wish him the best.
Yep. Especially with Liverpool's discraceful behavior (calling Evra liar amongst other things).
Paddy, you'll definitely go down as a utd legend....
Even if it's not his wife - surely we should comend a player for wanting to play first team football at a high level whilst they still have a chance? Considering how often players get criticised for collecting a pay cheque whilst being sat on a bench and all...Such sad news! He will be sorely missed both for his performance and his dedication as a red. Not sure why he made such decision (it's obvious the wife's intention is just a comsmetic reason), but really wish him the best.
Hope van Gaal is not Blind and bring in some quality to replace Pat not some desperately average players from current dutch squad incl. mr Blind Janmaat, and god please no Snejder.. still it is a first Shaw´s season and he needs to have competition for sure and someone who will mentor him even I dont doubt he will be great straight away. Having Evra or enybody as experienced by his side would have helped him in his developement.
This is how I feel too.
Brown, Fedinand,Vidic, Evra, Van der Sar. The back 4 that won the CL is all gone. I'll miss Vidic the most. I do love Evra for how he constantly got under the skin of our rival fans. I remember when he pissed of Gooners by calling Arsenal a training centre for young players
My favourite United player
I reckon Paddy's done right by us in signing the extension earlier, this was probably on the cards and to be honest £2m for him is a bargain whether he wants to go or not... He's had a poor few seasons bar this last one. Fantastic season for him to end on and he's easily one of my all time favourite United players. Good luck Patrice.
So much love for this man.
Suddenly, signing Shaw for what we did and selling Evra and Buttner for pennies doesn't seem all that shrewd of Woody.
Having Shaw with a veteran like Evra as back up would be perfect, so him going now is such a shame on various levels. I hope it's worth it for him and he doesn't spend all his time on the bench anyway.

Maybe the point was that Evra didn't want to be a backup.
Sad to see him go he was a proper United player, loved the club and played with passion.
It seems he wants to leave because of his wife and wants first team football, but from what i seen of Juve last season (not many times) they played 3 at the back, not sure how Evra will fit into that system, though i may be wrong and they normally play 4 at the back.

Wonder if the main reason was not wanting to be back up to Luke Shaw, and would rather be first choice at Juve.
Can't really hold that against a player in the twilight of his career. Will be missed!

Great leader and influence in the dressing room, but his best days are behind him so i am not too sad that he is leaving, and i guess we didn't know Evra would go like this otherwise we wouldn't have let Buttner go. Do we have nobody from the reserves to cover the LB spot i know Evans can cover for it, if we are buying another Cb then we will manage i suppose.

Losing a lot of experience and personality in the dressing room in Rio, Pat, Vida etc this year, will be interesting to see how it all goes.
Will there even be any real cover for Shaw?
Pat gone, Fabio gone, Buttner gone, Fryers gone. Suppose Evans can play there if needed, perhaps we will sign another left back.
