| Former Man United defender Patrice Evra reveals Sir Alex Ferguson said he would make a great manager |
PATRICE EVRA claims Sir Alex Ferguson told him and Ryan Giggs that they have what it takes to be great managers following Manchester United's Premier League title winning season in 2012-13.
Giggs has already had a stint in management where he took charge of the Red Devils for four games after the sacking of Ferguson's apparent successor David Moyes, before becoming assistant manager to current boss Louis van Gaal.
As for Evra, he currently plays with Juventus after completing a £1.2 million move to the Italian giants 12 months after the departure of Ferguson, where he has gone onto win the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles, along with making the Champions League final for a fifth time.

With all this experience, and Ferguson claiming in his latest book the French international was a 'natural leader', Evra revealed the Scotsman told him to do his coaching badges and move into management during their eight-year spell together at Old Trafford.
"Patrice, two people are going to be great managers in this team," Ferguson is reported as saying in the Sunday Times. "You and Ryan Giggs.
"You understand football, you know how to talk to people, you've got the leadership. Forget tactics and everything; you know how to pass on your passion. You can easily pass on your inspiration, your leadership. Trust me - do your badges."
