Evra, a five-time Premier League champion and Champions League winner with Manchester United, is channeling his trademark passion and energy into FanCart’s mission to transform how fans discover and engage with the products and people they love.

“From the first conversation, I could see the passion and determination at FanCart to build something new,” said Evra. “It’s fresh, different, and a way for fans to connect more intimately with the interests they admire. I’ve spoken to leaders in this space, seen how big the opportunity is, and I’m excited to do it our way, we’re changing the game. And honestly, James is a crazy person like me — I’m drawn to that energy and vision.”

FanCart uses personalized AI precision tags to discover products connected to a fan’s interests at a granular level. A personalized feed tailors the experience so that the right products find the fan — not the other way around.

James Flanagan, Co-Founder and CEO of FanCart, said: “We live in an era where Netflix knows what I want to watch next and Spotify gives everyone a personal DJ in their pocket, but online shopping has been stuck in the same model for 20 years. FanCart allows fans to discover and shop products connected to their favorite personalities, brands, and interests in one place for the first time. We’re rewriting the playbook — and I couldn’t ask for a better co-founder than Patrice to build this with.”

With Evra and Flanagan at the helm, FanCart is set to expand across sports, entertainment, and lifestyle, positioning itself as the go-to platform for fans to shop and engage with what matters most to them.
