Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has been heavily critical of his former club this season.

Sensational Evra rant on air after Man United vs Tottenham game
Patrice Evra was on air with Sky Sports covering the Premier League highlights when the 39-year-old had an emotional post-match outburst. Speaking after the Man United vs Tottenham game, Patrice Evra said that just like Alexis Sanchez had earlier revealed how he wanted to end his contract at Man United after his first training session, he would like to end his contract with Sky as well.
Patrice Evra admitted that since he is a passionate Man United supporter, it hurts him to speak the truth about the club. Evra also conceded that this is difficult for him since there needs to be some filter when one speaks on TV, as he called Man United’s performance a shambolic one. The former Man United defender criticized all the players, saying that they had disappointed all fans with their performance in the Man United vs Tottenham fixture.
Referring to the Man United vs Tottenham game, Patrice Evra said that many people at the club need a slap right now, considering the state of Man United. He also admitted that he was really angry with the club’s performance, admitting that it was difficult to talk about it as he is a positive person. The Frenchman concluded by saying that while he doesn’t care about the result, it is the same story every year with Man United, and he would rather comment on games of other clubs if he keeps working for Sky.
Evra's criticism of Ed Woodward that earlier went viral
This is not the first time Patrice Evra has been critical of his former club and its players. Last month, another Evra rant had gone viral, in which the former defender criticised chief executive Ed Woodard for trusting others too much. Talking about the club’s transfer activity, Patrice Evra said that the club is sending the wrong people to negotiate transfers, as he warned about the dangers of leaving transfer negotiations to people who are not from the footballing world.
