All appears to have been forgiven now, but it has not always been smooth sailing for West Ham United’s boss David Moyes in dealing with new signing Patrice Evra.

Moyes was in charge at Manchester United while Evra was still at Old Trafford, and the Manchester Evening News ran a report of a bizarre disagreement between the pair.

The MEN claim that back in 2014, Moyes was left ‘furious’ when Evra decided to eat a bacon sandwich on a flight to a Champions League away match.

The pair have clearly made up their differences now, as Evra could have key role to play for West Ham over the remainder of the season.

Evra was announced as a West Ham player yesterday, with the left-back set to offer experience to Moyes’ backline.

Whether Moyes sees Evra as a regular starter for West Ham remains to be seen, but the French international certainly adds depth to his squad.

Evra could make his West Ham debut at the weekend, when the Hammers take on Watford at the London Stadium.
