Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba has reacted to the retirement of former Red Devils and Juventus defender, Patrice Evra, from playing football.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had reported that Evra on Monday announced his retirement from the game of football.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old, in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, said: \u201cMy playing career is officially over.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started training for the UEFA B Coaching License in 2013, now I want to finish it and then go on to get the UEFA A license.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a year and a half, if everything goes well, I\u2019ll be ready to lead a team. Sir Alex Ferguson had predicted at the time that two of his players would become coaches of a high level: Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting, Pogba took to his official Twitter page on Tuesday to wish Evra amazing days ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cMon Tonton as long as retiring does not mean you stop hanging out with us I wish you amazing days ahead! Some of the best times were with you, we love your game! @Evra #ilovethisgame,\u201d Pogba posted alongside a video of himself with Evra dancing.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
