The stars of Manchester United are so pampered they even have someone to change their lightbulbs.
Left-back Patrice Evra, 28, told how his every whim is taken care of by the club’s gofers – down to the simplest of DIY jobs.
Under the watchful eye of player liaison manager Barry Moorhouse they are on hand 24 hours a day to have cars fixed, Jacuzzis repaired and domestic niggles sorted.
Frenchman Evra, who lives in a £3million Cheshire mansion, said: “This club is a big family because everybody works together. You can ask Barry anything. When you have a problem with your car, the Jacuzzi or the light, he is there.

“When you see people like this you want to make them happy and win.”
Barry said: “Some people describe me as a Jim’ll Fix It.”
A club source said the gofers made sure stars’ lives ran smoothly off the pitch. They added: “United have players from all over the world and it can be difficult for them to settle.
“It means they are not worrying about little things. The manager wants them to concentrate on football. But some requests are ridiculous.
“Players are so pampered. And it doesn’t stop at the players. Wags get treated better than royals.”
