Manchester United directors are upset to be losing Patrice Evra.
The veteran fullback is on the brink of signing for Juventus.
The Daily Mail says United were reluctant to lose the experience and dressing room influence of Evra but will not stand in the way of a player who has provided almost a decade of sterling service with the club.
Senior officials were extremely impressed with Evra's commitment and dedication to the United cause under David Moyes last season, especially after Moyes had launched a very public pursuit of Leighton Baines, and his departure will be met with sadness by many within the corridors of power at Old Trafford.
