Evra has no regrets over his decision to join the Serie A champions, but still finds it hard to discuss his United exit.
“It’s still hard to talk about my United exit, but one day – when my career’s over – I’ll be able to speak more openly about it,” the Frenchman told RMC.
“I came to Turin above all for my family, because at Manchester they had inserted a clause in our agreement which changed the situation considerably. It really annoyed me.

“But I don’t regret this move, which in the end has proven to be more than positive.
“I’m happy in Serie A, even if it was more a coincidence that I ended up in Turin than a choice.
“My aim is to keep on winning with Juventus and the national team, particularly since we’re the host nation [at Euro 2016].”
