Patrice Evra admits he has forgiven Luis Suarez after 2011 racism charge

Patrice Evra has revealed how he saw Luis Suarez in Selfridges in Manchester after suffering from racist abuse during a match between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League.

Evra was subjected to racist abuse by Liverpool striker Suarez in October 2011, leading to a lengthy court case and an apology from the Reds years later.

The Uruguayan was charged with racially abusing Evra, and subsequently didn't shake the left-backs hand in the return fixture later in the season. Evra has forgiven the Atletico Madrid striker for what happened at Anfield, but reveals how they could have come to blows in Selfridges after the row.
