Manchester United Legend Patrice Evra Launches 20-Minute Attack On Club

Manchester United Legend Patrice Evra Launches 20-Minute Attack On Club

A Manchester United icon has released a 20-minute video in which he criticises the way the Red Devils are being run.

Patrice Evra, who represented the English giants from 2006 to 2014 and is revered among the club's supporters, has taken aim at the way United conducted themselves in the transfer window.

The Frenchman uploaded a lengthy video to Instagram, begging for the current board to respect the club's history.

"My phone is ringing from a top director from a top club and they're saying, 'Patrice, can you ask Matt Judge to answer his phone?' People have to understand we send lawyers to talk with the player. They talk about numbers, not people from the football world," he said via his Instagram account.

"When you want a player who cost 20 million, he ends up costing 100 million... but even those players, they don't even want our money anymore.

"Before us, Bobby Charlton, George Best, all those people, they made the history of the club. That's what we try to respect – (winning the Champions League) in 1999, and us in 2008 – and some people want to blow up all this legacy for what? For which reasons? We are better than that."

Evra also insisted he has no issue with chief executive Ed Woodward, but did accuse him of being too trusting.

"If I have a problem with Ed Woodward, I will not put it on social media, I will text him and call him and tell him face to face what I think about something. We blame him a lot. The only problem I would say with Ed is trusting people he should never trust," he continued.

"He even trusts some people outside the club. People like (managing director) Richard Arnold are why we've got money, these guys can make some sponsorship deal like you can't imagine, so we've got the money, but we've not got the players because we send the wrong people to speak with them.

"Ole now tries to approach the players and try and speak to them like (Sir Alex) Ferguson used to do."
