Manchester United hero Patrice Evra admits he's discussed the football director's job with vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

Evra, who was spotted alongside Woodward at a number of matches last season, has confirmed the pair have spoken about the position.

He told Sky Sports: "I don't want to do it straight away, I want to keep working on TV and with my brand, I want to make people happy and make them laugh, but when I am at work I am really focused. I need another year, maybe, to enjoy life.

"I've been talking with Ed about football director and stuff, but not yet. When I'm back for the club I want to sacrifice my life again, but you have to be ready to do that and honest with yourself.

"When I go back, I want Manchester United people to play for the badge and the history, the Busby Babes. That's me, maybe it's crazy and I take it too seriously, because it's only football, but that's my way.

"The fans used to make a flag saying 'United, Kids, Wife' in that order but I didn't find it funny, that was my life! Even when I was at home I was thinking about how we would win our next game. That flag, for me was true."
