Live from Old Trafford – Manchester United legend Patrice Evra has unleashed a scathing attack on a current Red Devils star following their shocking 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. The loss, which has sent shockwaves through the United fanbase, saw the team put in yet another lackluster performance, but one player, in particular, bore the brunt of Evra’s fury.
In an explosive post-match rant, Evra, a former United captain and five-time Premier League champion, didn’t hold back his frustration:
“I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! He is a liability every time he steps on the pitch! Mistake after mistake, costing us points, killing our momentum—it’s embarrassing! How is he still playing? How many more games do we have to suffer because of him? This club deserves better, the fans deserve better! I NEVER want to see him in our shirt again. Enough is ENOUGH!”
Though Evra stopped short of naming the player outright, fans and pundits alike quickly speculated that his fury was directed at a certain underperforming United star who has been under scrutiny for repeated costly errors this season.
United’s Season Unraveling
The 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford was another painful chapter in what has been a turbulent campaign for Erik ten Hag’s side. Crystal Palace, disciplined and efficient, took full advantage of United’s defensive lapses, with goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze sealing a well-earned victory for the visitors.
United, on the other hand, looked sluggish, uninspired, and bereft of ideas—an all-too-familiar sight for their frustrated supporters. The defensive frailties, which have plagued them all season, were once again exposed, leading Evra to explode with emotion post-match.
“Should Retire” – Evra Calls for Ruthless Decisions
Evra didn’t stop at calling for the player to be dropped—he went even further, suggesting that it was time for a certain United star to retire altogether.
“Some players need to be honest with themselves. If you keep making the same mistakes, you have to ask, ‘Am I good enough to play at this level anymore?’ For me, it’s clear—some of these guys should RETIRE. I don’t care about excuses, I care about standards. This is MANCHESTER UNITED. We need warriors, not liabilities!”
Evra’s comments are likely to spark huge debate among the fanbase, with many already calling for changes in the squad. United’s defensive struggles have been glaring, and the patience of both legends and supporters is wearing thin.
What’s Next for Manchester United?
With the pressure mounting on Erik ten Hag, questions are now being asked about whether he will continue to stand by the players who have repeatedly let the team down. United have a crucial run of fixtures ahead, and unless drastic changes are made, their hopes of securing Champions League football next season could be in serious jeopardy.
Meanwhile, Evra’s emotional outburst has only added fuel to the fire. Fans are already demanding that underperforming players be dropped, and if his words are anything to go by, the time for sentimentality at Old Trafford is over.
Will Ten Hag take action? Or will United continue to suffer from the same costly mistakes? One thing is certain—Patrice Evra, like many fans, has reached his breaking point.
