Patrice Evra, 35, played for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson from 2006 to 2014, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League among other noteworthy trophies.
The left-back moved to Marseille from Juventus in the January transfer window, after it had been speculated he was re-joining Manchester United which seemed like a move Manchester United fans wouldn't mind.
"I was very close to a return to Manchester United,"
"I also spoke with Mourinho but there was a person, whose name I will not say, who probably did not like the idea of my return."
"Even the fans were enthusiastic and would have been delighted, but because I realised that they [the club] would not do anything I then asked my agent to look for other teams."
"Marseille immediately won me over with their project and immediately created a great feeling."
"We only spent one day to close the deal. They really treated me like a God, making it clear they had a great need for me."
