Evra: How the Busby Babes scored my best goal

The French left-back has always appreciated Reds history and was particularly moved when the club travelled to Germany in 2014, for a Champions League quarter-final tie at the Allianz Arena.

On the eve of the match, Sir Bobby Charlton and the entire first-team squad visited a memorial in the city to pay respect to the 23 people who lost their lives in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster.

United lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich the following night and exited the European Cup, but Evra’s sensational goal remains a personal highlight for many supporters and, while speaking in this week’s UTD Podcast, Patrice admits the strike had a greater meaning to him than just football.
