The Athletic FC

Welcome to the Athletic FSC podcast with me, Ayo, Akim Wolere.

Coming up today, we have a truly special interview,

Manchester United Legend, Patrice Evra,

in conversation with Adam Crafton.

They cover a huge amount of ground, including his

relationship with the boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, the highs and lows of his Champions League

final appearances, his reaction to his best friend Carlos Tevez, crossing the divide to Manchester

City, and his take on whether Michael Carrick should be handed

the United Job permanently. Well, let's dive in.

Patrice, first of all, thank you for your time. Really appreciate it. Can you explain

what you're doing in Arizona and the project that you're working on.

As I understand it, it relates to projects to help athletes after they retire from sport.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's correct.

It's my first time in Arizona, in Phoenix.

The jet life is quite really heavy for us. But apart from that, no, we enjoy it.

And I came here for the pack event. You know, I met Chip. I was in the UAE and he didn't know who I was, to be honest.

But we just connect. We talk like just five minutes. Then suddenly he takes me back.

I said, Patrice, you know, we need to do something.

And he see also how successful I was, you know, after retiring.

And he explained me the project about helping.
