PATRICE EVRA revealed he is trying to convince Bayern Munich ace Franck Ribery to join Manchester United.
The full-back is sure his France pal would be an ideal signing if Cristiano Ronaldo decides to leave.
Evra said: “Many say Cristiano will leave but only he knows the answer. It's clear a guy like Franck would be the ideal solution for United if Cristiano left.
"Of course I talk to Franck about it, I tell him you had better come here."
United boss Alex Ferguson has a long-standing interest in £30million-rated Ribery.
Just a few weeks ago United panned reports in Germany that Fergie had offered Bayern £63m bid for the Frenchman.
Speculation about Ronaldo's future refuses to go away and a move to Real Madrid could still be on the cards this summer.
But Ribery is also on the list of targets for Real - and United's Champions League final opponents Barcelona.
