The former Manchester United and French defender Patrice Evra has opened up about his difficult past.

Speaking on a new BBC One Series called Freeze the Fear, as relayed by the Daily Mail, Evra said: “Selling drugs. Begging in front of the shop, for money, and working in a TV shop. One is not true.”

Evra went on to reveal which statement was false, saying: “I didn’t sell TVs. The other two are true. I was like 13.”

Not many people would have known that about the former Manchester United player, who enjoyed a vastly decorated career.

The Frenchman went on to say how becoming a footballer “saved” him, and potentially steered him away from going down the wrong path.
