Patrice Evra Blames Himself for United's Decline

Patrice Evra has expressed regret regarding the decline of Manchester United, attributing part of the club's struggles to himself and former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Since Ferguson's departure in 2013, United has failed to win the Premier League, with current manager Erik ten Hag facing mounting pressure amidst the team's poor performance, including a current 12th place standing after eight games this season. Evra emphasized the lack of leadership and trophy-winning experience among the current squad, suggesting that both he and Ferguson left the club prematurely, leaving the players without strong examples to follow. He remains supportive of Ten Hag, although he believes the manager's efforts have not been sufficient. Evra lamented the current state of the club, noting that rivals like Manchester City and Liverpool have advanced while United has stagnated. Despite the struggles, he maintains his loyalty to the club, stating the situation is tough to watch for a lifelong fan.
