Reports are out claiming that Patrice Evra has told Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri to join him at Manchester United.
Nasri is wanted by Manchester City but Evra has intervened and advised his good friend and French international team-mate that the Theatre of Dreams is the only place to be if he wants to win trophies and become a world star.
Evra said: "I've talked a lot with him in the holidays and told him how great it is to play for Manchester United and how important it would be for him to become one of the biggest players in the world.
"I remember I made that little joke saying that he's a prince now but if he wants to be the king then he has to join Man United.
"But that's the reality - and I've told him that. I said, 'If you want to win trophies, you have to come here'.
"In five years I've won 12 trophies and I don't know if I'd have won more than that with another club. So I just told him the truth.
"I don't know how negotiations are at the moment but he has a lot of clubs interested in him and he has to think.
"I just told him how good it would be for him coming here. He will have a nice welcome and I can help as well because I'm French.
"We've spoken a lot in the summer and also when we met up for friendly games with France at the end of the season. It was looking interesting but I don't know, we'll have to see."
