There has been quite some talk on the internet over this winter of Evra moving to Spain at the end of the season.
The conjectures continue with speculation of Fergie filling the 'vacant' left back position with either Michel Bastos, Fabio Coentrao or Newcastle's Jose Enrique.
If these Evra rumours are true, and they have been about since last July, then it would appear that Enrique could step forward as favourite.
Bastos is an end to end, attack minded player who also has a powerful shot as part of his repertoire.
However, the 27 year old would probably be seen as too old to be a long term replacement.
Coentrao is a left back who has the ability to double as a winger.
At 22 he is the type of footballer who would tick all the boxes as far as Sir Alex is concerned.
Unfortunately he would probably come with a hefty price tag, something our 'cash strapped' club would prefer to avoid if possible.
So that just leaves Jose Enrique.
Already playing Premier League Football and only 2 years older than Coentrao, he could be SAF's final choice.
Once again, even he wouldn't come cheap, going at somewhere around the £20million mark.
The Left Back has really come to the fore this season through the impressive link up play forged between himself and Newcastle's Argentinian winger Gutierrez.
This is a partnership neither Alan Pardew or Mike Ashly would want to break up, given the likelihood of them also losing Andy Carroll come the summer.
Mind you, Ashly may feel it's about time he recouped some of the money he invested initially when buying the club.
Any Thoughts ?
