'Key part'
'A dream'
Evra, 27, was delighted to pledge his future to United, claiming: "The last two-and-a-half seasons have been the start of a dream. It's a pleasure and an honour to be part of this fantastic side and to be coached by Sir Alex Ferguson and his staff. United are more than a club - it's a family I am proud to be a part of and that's why it's always been a first choice for me.
Only the start
"I declared when I arrived that I was coming here not just to play but to win, and United is the ideal place to realise such a dream. It's a privilege to play in front of our fantastic fans and I'm sure the success we've earned in the last two seasons confirms the history of this club and that it will be the start of something even more special." Evra was on the bench as France began their UEFA EURO 2008™ campaign with a 0-0 draw against Romania.
