Patrice Evra has said that he would be more than happy to see Man Utd take on Arsenal in the Champions League quarter finals. Manchester United easily disposed of Lyon in the last round while Arsenal had the more difficult task of defeating AC Milan.

Evra told The Daily Express: "Why not get Arsenal? I don't give a damn.

"I have played every year against Arsenal. We drew 2-2 on their ground and we can't wait to play them again next month. We beat them 4-0 in the FA Cup, too.

"You have to say they struck a big blow in knocking out the holders, but, basically, Arsenal don't scare me.

"The only team I am looking at for the next round of the Champions League are Manchester United.

"It would be a mistake to say we'd rather have Fenerbahce than Barcelona, say. That's when you get hit.

"Look at Real Madrid when they played us at Monaco in the quarter-finals in 2004. They were so confident they booked their hotel for the semi-final - but they hadn't reckoned on us. You have to stay concentrated."
