Evra’s only other current challenger for the spot is Alexander Buttner, who sadly has not developed as well as was clearly planned when he was bought from Vitesse in the summer 2012.

Louis Van Gaal is notorious in the football world for not being a man who is very forgiving, or flexible in his approach.
