United have betrayed signs of fatigue in recent weeks, but the defender is adamant they will summon one last effort to become champions of Europe as well as England.

Patrice Evra wants to be celebrating with Sir Alex Ferguson in Moscow next week

Evra said: "The big difference between us and the rest is our character. No-one in England has more than us.

"It is great to be a champion again, but all we have done is emulate last season's achievement. We are not the sort of team to settle for that.

"I'm sure Chelsea don't want to finish empty handed, especially by losing out to us again, but we have absolutely no intention of letting them win the Champions League.

"There is a real will to win and it's going to get stronger. This team has a great future."

Evra, who will resume contract talks with United after the European Championship, revealed that the heartbreak of being a Champions League runner-up with Monaco will drive him on against Chelsea.

"I don't want to walk past that trophy again without being able to lift it," he said.

"That cup is tugging at my heart. I said when I joined United I wasn't coming here just to reach a Champions League final. I was coming to win it.

"I joke that I went to the final with Monaco in a Fiat but I'm heading there now in a Ferrari."
