Patrice Evra Voted for Luis Suarez for PFA Player of the Year

Patrice Evra has apparently given his vote for PFA Player of the Year to Liverpool's Luis Suarez, something seen as very controversial given the past history between the two players.
Evra accused Suarez of racially abusing him during a game between Liverpool and Manchester United and the Uruguayan was subsequently banned for eight games and was handed a fine of £40k.
The argument then escalated further when Suarez refused to shake Evra's hand in the repeat fixture a year later, and there has been bad blood between the two parties ever since - to say the least.
However, United's French defender has put his personal feelings aside and reportedly voted for Suarez for the player of the year award.
The story was reported in the Sunday Mirror, amongst other publications and they even quoted an insider source at Old Trafford.
"Suarez is an outstanding footballer, but no-one at United could believe it when Patrice voted for him. Claimed the United source.
"It shows the measure of the man that he didn't allow what happened between them to cloud his judgement.
"He clearly doesn't bear a grudge."
Luis Suarez was amongst six nominees for the PFA Player of the Year award which will be announced on April 27th.
