Evra has been spending the summer continuing to persuade his French compatriot and friend to leave Arsenal and join Manchester United by tempting him with a guarantee of trophies and the possibility of becoming one of the "biggest players in the world". Evra said:
"I've talked a lot with him in the holidays and told him how great it is to play for Manchester United and how important it would be for him to become one of the biggest players in the world."
"I remember I made that little joke saying that he's a prince now but if he wants to be the king then he has to join Man United. But that's the reality - and I've told him that. I said, 'If you want to win trophies, you have to come here'."
"In five years I've won 12 trophies and I don't know if I'd have won more than that with another club. So I just told him the truth. I don't know how negotiations are at the moment but he has a lot of clubs interested in him and he has to think."
"I just told him how good it would be for him coming here. He will have a nice welcome and I can help as well because I'm French. We've spoken a lot in the summer and also when we met up for friendly games with France at the end of the season. It was looking interesting but I don't know, we'll have to see."
Nasri has only suffered second best at Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger, although determined to "fight" for his play maker is still unsure of his future and certainly cannot guarantee that Nasri will be an Arsenal player next season.
The problem Arsenal have, is that many clubs are interested in Nasri, including United's rivals, Manchester City, who can offer an unrivalled wage package. However, the United left-back has made it clear that he would choose glory at United over the money of City any day:

"If he goes to City it's his choice. But I know, as a player, if I have Manchester United and Manchester City, I'd go straight away for United."
"It can be for the money. But I'd prefer to go for the glory. He said it's a privilege a club like United want him but he has to think about his future and talk with his agent."
