Patrice Evra joins 'Sidemen' Netflix show carrying £1m prize in bid to go from Man Utd legend to 'YouTuber'

The former France left-back has appeared in the new series of Inside, a show hosted by YouTube group Sidemen, which sees 10 celebrity contestants locked in a house together.

The celebrities are put through a series of challenges as they compete to win a £1 million prize. Evra's participation was announced as a surprise in the first episode, marking the latest chapter in the 43-year-old's attempt to become an internet star.

Evra spent eight years at United and won five Premier League titles and reached three Champions League finals, winning the competition in 2008. Despite his Old Trafford heroics, he hopes instead to be recognised for his YouTube career.

"I hope, in maybe one year, that people will say: 'Oh, this is the YouTuber!'. I prefer them to say that then saying: 'Oh, he's the legend of Man United'," he said on the show.

Evra will compete against the likes of PK Humble and JasonTheWeen among a host of other influencers as the ex-United, Juventus and Marseille hero attempts to win the big prize.
