Evra's Franck admission: United must snap up Ribery if Ronaldo quits
Patrice Evra has told France team-mate Franck Ribery to join him at Manchester United.
Responding to the continued speculation linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a move away from Old Trafford, full-back Evra admitted he did not know whether the Portuguese winger would stay or go but did highlight a ready-made replacement.
Ribery has been in scintillating form for a struggling Bayern Munich side this year and is sure to attract plenty of interest in the summer. And Evra would be happy for the Red Devils to lead the way.
'Many say Cristiano will leave but only he knows the answer,' said Evra.
'It's clear a guy like Franck would be the ideal solution for United if Cristiano left. Of course I talk to Franck about it, I tell him "you had better come here".'
Ronaldo's future is again in doubt as United prepare for tomorrow's Champions League final against Barcelona in Rome.
Real Madrid are desperate to bring him to Spain, although it would take a world-record bid of around £75million to prise him away from United.
Intriguingly, Real have recently turned their attention to Ribery as they struggle to tempt United to do business over Ronaldo.
