Patrice Evra (born May 15, 1981 in Dakar, Senegal) is a French-Senegalese international footballer, who plays for English Premiership side Manchester United. He plays in the left back position although he can also play on the left wing.
Son of a diplomat, he soon arrived in Europe through Brussels where his father was sent when he was very young. He was raised in Les Ulis, Essonne, France where he lived with his family from 1984 to 1998 before seizing his first opportunity leading him to Marsala, Italy. That's where he started football in 1986 and fell in love with the game. He evolved notably with Thierry Henry in those early years. They consider themselves as childhood friends. Patrice had a total of 23 siblings.
