Patrice Evra, the Manchester United legend, has expressed his desire to face his former rival, Luis Suarez, in his debut match.

The former Man United player has surprisingly transitioned into MMA fighting and he is expected to get his first fight.

Patrice Evra is making his debut at PFL Europe Paris, held at the Accor Arena on May 23. This will see him exchange kicking a ball for potentially kicking an opponent.

Since 2016, the Frenchman has trained in combat sports with PFL French superstar Cédric Doumbé.

The 43-year-old said, "You guys should know by now, I love this game too! I’ve performed on the world’s biggest stages, won every major trophy in football, but PFL Europe Paris will be an incredibly special night for me.

"I’m officially training for my first fight with @PFLEurope. They will pick my opponent… They asked who I want to face, and I said, Luis Suárez. I’ll pay out of pocket. He can even bite me."

Evra had a brilliant career, securing 20 trophies across Monaco, Manchester United, and Juventus. His achievements include several league titles in both England and Italy, and he famously won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008.
