Patrice Evra has never had his tongue in his pocket. After a huge career as a player where he always said what he thought, the former left defender continues to speak on football news even in retirement. And the native of Dakar necessarily carefully follows the situation of his favorite club, Manchester United. After a complicated start to the season under Ruben Amorim, the Mancunian club has been starting to get its head above water for months and the arrival of Michael Carrick on the bench. With great starts and victories against big teams, Carrick impressed but he has lost credit in recent weeks with less successful performances. A drop in form which earned him criticism from his former teammates Paul Scholes and Gary Neville. On Stake, Evra then broke his silence and vilified Neville and Scholes for attacking a former teammate while recalling their record as coaches:
“I hope Paul Scholes’ Instagram story is fake, I hope his account was hacked. Frankly, that doesn’t surprise me from Scholesy. He was the quietest player I ever played with. Now, in the media, he is releasing shocking news. I really don’t understand the lack of support for Michael Carrick; he is one of us and he is doing very well. (…) There were negative analyzes from Scholesy, but also from Roy Keane and Gary Neville. It annoys me because we want to finish in the top four, and these comments are useless. But that’s the lot of those who work in TV. We cannot be positive; you have to be negative. People can’t forget what they did as coaches. As players, they are legends, but as coaches, they were not up to par.
