Manchester United: ‘Chaos’ at Old Trafford goes back to Sir Alex Ferguson departure – Patrice Evra
During Evra’s time in Manchester, United were the dominant force in English football. He now believes they have been overtaken by not just their cross-city rivals Manchester City, but also the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.
“I’m a positive man, but it’s tough. Our rivals are getting better than us, play a better style of football. The future is not bright. It’s a tough moment.
“Liverpool waited 30 years to win the Premier League again, now it’s been 11 years [since United’s last title]. I don’t want to wait that long.
“No matter what, I will be a United fan forever, but it’s quite tough to watch United play.”
In addition to the poor on-field performance, United’s owners have been criticised over the news last week that Ferguson will leave his role as a club ambassador at the end of the season.
“The Ferguson thing, I didn’t digest it all,” added 2008 Champions League winner Evra.
“Sometimes you want to tell the truth and people think as if you talk against your club and you don’t want to hurt it.
“When that legend, that legacy gets away, I don’t think fans will stay friends with you.”
