Evra is Manchester United’s player of the season, insists Irwin

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Denis Irwin has hailed Patrice Evra as the world’s best left-back.

Irwin should know a thing or two about the position, having played there in the 1999 Champions League final, one of his 529 appearances in a 12-year stint with the Old Trafford outfit.

And, whilst he accepts there is competition, particularly from Ashley Cole, Irwin has no doubt Evra is currently the best at his art.
