Patrice Evra has described his Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson as a "winner".

With six matches left to play, the Red Devils are just seven points away from securing a 20th league title and a 13th for Ferguson at the club.

Discussing his manager's mentality, Evra believes that the United squad have the perfect person in charge to guide them to success.

"The boss is a winner. He has just told us to win the six games that are left. He said before the Stoke game that the season starts now. That shows you the way he wants to win this 20th title," he told PA Sport and talkSPORT.

"He told us not to think about the title, just think about winning these six games. We can still break the record [points total]. That is what he wants. The challenge for us is to win the six games we have left. It won't be easy but that is the way the boss wants us to play."

Next up for Evra and United is a trip to West Ham United tomorrow evening.
