Manchester United are discussing a new role for former player Patrice Evra at the club.
The 37-year-old has been a constant presence at games since October, sitting alongside executive vice chairman Ed Woodward and being allowed into the dressing room area by Jose Mourinho.
United are looking to bring in a director of football from the summer but Evra is likely to have an ambassadorial or liaison remit.

Evra was a popular figure during his playing career at United where he made more than 370 appearances before joining Juventus.
Evra won the Premier League title with United five times and was a part of the side that went on to lift the Champions League trophy in 2008 under Sir Alex Ferguson. He had a spell at West Ham last season making five appearances under David Moyes.
The Frenchman gets on well with many of the first team staff currently at United, including Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial, and has held several discussions as the club work on where he could best benefit them.
