Patrice Evra has disclosed that he was sexually molested by his French headteacher when he was 13 years old.
In his new autobiography, 'I Love This Game,' Evra, who is largely considered as one of the best-ever full-backs in the Premier League after an eight-year career at United, has disclosed that he was molested as a child.
The 40-year-old reportedly said that during his time in Monaco, he was approached by police over the headmaster after allegations from other youngsters, but he denied that he had been sexually molested — a decision Evra describes as one of his "greatest regrets."
In an interview with The Times, the former right-back said: ‘I don’t want people to feel pity. It’s a difficult situation,’ said Evra.
‘A mother does not expect to hear this from their own child. She felt something [was wrong] and had asked me why I did not want to sleep in the teacher’s house. Only now when I am 40 years old do I tell her.
