Manchester United legend lists £3.5million five-bedroom mansion for sale despite drop in price
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has placed his luxurious Hale mansion on the market for £3,495,000.
The figure represents a financial hit on the property he acquired for £3,750,000 back in 2011.
The five-bedroom residence in Greater Manchester comes with an unusual feature that football fans will find particularly amusing.

Aguero, who was Evra’s fierce rival during their respective stints at City and United, rented the property from the French full-back and could not resist adding his personal stamp to the home.
The detached property spans four floors and includes its own private lift, offering an impressive array of amenities throughout.
On the lower ground level, residents can enjoy a comprehensive leisure suite featuring an open-plan games and media room complete with cinema facilities and a bar.
A glass-fronted gymnasium sits alongside a swimming pool, with a separate Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna completing the wellness offerings.

The striker frequently shares images of himself at the address on social media.
During his tenancy, the former Argentina international made a bold decorative choice, installing a substantial portrait of himself celebrating on one of the living room walls.
The artwork captures the moment that defined City’s 2011/12 campaign and remains in place to this day.
The mansion has previously commanded rental fees of £20,000 per month, reflecting its premium status in one of Greater Manchester’s most sought-after areas.

The celebration immortalised on Evra’s wall marks one of English football’s most dramatic moments, when Aguero struck in stoppage time against Queens Park Rangers to secure a 3-2 victory and City’s maiden Premier League crown.
That last-gasp goal denied Evra and his United teammates the title in the most agonising fashion possible.
Aguero went on to become City’s record goalscorer, netting 184 times in 275 appearances during a decade-long spell from 2011 to 2021.
Evra, a French international, represented United between 2006 and 2014, accumulating 273 appearances for the club.
