“I'm not worried” | Patrice Evra discusses Erik ten Hag's future and his new PLAYER app
"Former Manchester United Star Patrice Evra Launches New App to Help Young Footballers"
In a recent hour-long broadcast, a special guest, former Manchester United and France fullback Patrice Evra, joined the studio to discuss his new app, "Player". The app is designed to help young footballers navigate their careers and is co-founded by Tommy Fish.
"Breaking it Down"
Patrice explained that the app is essentially a LinkedIn for footballers, allowing them to create profiles, share stats, and network with coaches, scouts, and agents. This platform provides visibility and recognition for young players who may not have had the same opportunities as others. Patrice emphasized the app’s importance, stating that it’s "from the street to the top", and that it’s for both current and former players.
"The Benefits"
Patrice also highlighted the benefits of the app, particularly for retired players like himself. He expressed his desire to use the app to showcase his own highlights and interact with young players, providing inspiration and guidance. Tommy also emphasized the app’s value for sporting directors, agents, and scouts, mentioning that they’re already working with various clubs and scouting for talent.
"Player XP"
In addition to its core function, the app also offers an arm dedicated to helping young footballers away from the game. This is achieved through workshops and training sessions, where players learn skills both on and off the pitch. Patrice praised the initiative, saying that it’s essential for players to build something outside of football to prepare for life after retirement.
"United DNA"
When discussing the current state of Manchester United, Patrice expressed his pride in the club’s young talent, mentioning players like Kobe Garnacho and Ahmed ElMohamady. He emphasized the importance of developing the "United DNA", a term he used to describe the club’s core values and playing style.
"Signing Up"
To get involved with the app, young players can sign up today and receive an invitation to the exclusive platform. The app will initially focus on elite academy players, but plans to expand to include grassroots footballers by early 2025.
"Wrapping Up"
Patrice and Tommy thanked the hosts for having them on the show and expressed their enthusiasm for the app’s potential to revolutionize the football industry. The article concludes with a mention of Patrice’s Vets league team and his expectation of receiving an invitation to join the app soon.
