France national team boss Didier Deschamps has admitted that it’s hard to tell if Patrice Evra has improved at Juventus, but feels it should be easy after his mediocre showing during his final months with Manchester United.
The 33-year-old left the Red Devils over the summer after a shameful seventh place finish to the 2013-14 Premier League campaign and signed a two-year contract with the Bianconeri, though he’s yet to impress his national team coach since arriving in Turin.
Deschamps spoke to reporters on Thursday after revealing his France squad for the upcoming international break and commented on Evra’s improvement with Juventus this season thus far.
“I can not say that Evra has improved during his time with Juventus,” said the tactician, who included the former United man in his Les Bleus line up.
“Certainly, however, it is easy to do better than what we saw during his last six months with Manchester United.”
France will be facing Portugal on October 11 and Armenia on October 14.
