Patrice Evra is on a collision course with Manchester United after demanding a staggering £120,000-a-week contract.

United full-back Evra is demanding parity with the top earners at the club like Rio Ferdinand before he commits himself to stay at Old Trafford.




Evra, who joined United two years ago from Monaco for £5.5million, is currently on £36,000 a week and has just started talks about a new deal.

But the 26-year-old's demands have caused a major stand-off with the club after his representatives insisted he deserves to be among their top earners

Well, I think this is all a bit strechy but I would give him as same as Rio's getting. He's been a revelation and has become arguably the best LB in the world...

That's ridiculous.

Ferdinand has been at the club for over 5 years (making well over 150 appearances), is a regular England international, was a £30m defender and has captained United on a few occasions. He is a World class defender.

Evra is still a relative newbie (just over 50 appearances) and, for all the plaudits he gets from United fans, he's still behind Abidal in the pecking order for France. He's improving all the time and I'm surprised he's 'only' on £36k per week but asking for £120k is ludicrous.

Why dont these players just focus on playing and not what they get in their wallets? They should bring in wage caps as they do in Rugby. Players think they're all high and mighty and are jealous of higher earning players.

I smell trouble whenever there are significant pay disputes and I don't like it.:(

Ferdinand sat on it for the longest time, Brown has not signed... and soon others will join in the fray.

I dont think it will come to that ...

For a start The Glazers are not idiots - they are business men and they wont be held to ransom by anyone !!

And the same can be said for Fergie too....

The Glazers and Fergie are people not to be messed with.

As we see several times no one player is too big to be sent packing ...

Beckham, RVN ... ;)

Evra stuns Man Utd with £120,000-a-week demands

Patrice Evra has stunned Manchester United by his new £120,000-a-week contract demands.

The Mirror says United full-back Evra is demanding parity with the top earners at the club like Rio Ferdinand before he commits himself to stay at Old Trafford. Evra, who joined United two years ago from Monaco for £5.5million, is currently on £36,000 a week and has just started talks about a new deal.

But the 26-year-old's demands have caused a major stand-off with the club after his representatives insisted he deserves to be among their top earners.

Footballs player are such fools sometimes, if he want a raise like that he can just flip club to Chelsea and then it's possible. Michael Ballack gets around 140000£ a week, that's insane. I could pay the only cash i have around 20£ or something to know why they need a raise. What do they wanna buy, but i hope its just crazy talk about he wanting that much.
