Patrice Evra has announced his engagement to Danish model Margaux Alexandra on Instagram after a year of romance.

The Manchester United legend, 39, split from ex-wife Sandra, who revealed plans to divorce Evra to SunSport last month.

In an Instagram message, he said: He wrote: “It’s been more than a YEAR we are together, I mean since you stole my heart. After the second time we see each other I told you you going to be my wife for the rest of my life.

“You think I was crazy when I asked your hand only after 3 months we meet… I wish to all the men to love their women the way I love you.

“It’s just amazing, I can’t describe it, you are my universe, my soul, my peace you make me realise being soft its strength not weakness.

“I feel more safe when you hold my hand. Happiness, it’s a choice! I choose you for the rest of my life my little mushroom.”
