Patrice Evra Manchester United
Patrice Evra has voiced his disapproval of former Manchester United teammates Gary Neville, Roy Keane, and Paul Scholes for their recent critical comments about Michael Carrick. Evra’s remarks come in response to Scholes’ recent statements, which have sparked debate among United fans.
Paul Scholes wrote: “Michael has definitely got something special about him. United have been crap last four games… night.”
Patrice Evra said: “I hope Paul Scholes’ Instagram story is fake. I hope he was hacked. To be honest, I’m not surprised at that from Scholesy. He was the quietest player I’ve ever played with in my entire career. Now, in the media, he drops bombshells. I really don’t understand the lack of support behind Michael Carrick, he’s one of us and he’s doing very well. There’s been negative analysis from Scholesy, but also from Roy Keane and Gary Neville. You can’t be positive, you have to be negative.”
Patrice Evra continued: “Most of these guys get a managerial job and get fired straightaway. I said to Neville, ‘It’s easy to talk on TV. When you were at Valencia, they asked you for paella, and you gave them fish and chips.’ After three months, they said goodbye. People can’t forget what they have done as a manager. As players, they’re legends, but as managers, they haven’t done a great job. So for them to speak and possibly kill the career of a manager, it’s a little bit too much.”
Evra’s comments highlight a growing tension among former Manchester United players who have transitioned into media roles. His defense of Carrick comes amidst a successful period for the interim manager, who has led the team to a series of victories, including wins over Everton and Crystal Palace. Despite a recent draw against West Ham, Carrick’s leadership has helped United climb to third place in the Premier League, keeping them in contention for a Champions League spot next season.
The criticism from Scholes, Keane, and Neville has not gone unnoticed by fans, many of whom have expressed their dismay at what they perceive as excessive negativity towards the club. Evra’s remarks underscore the importance of supporting Carrick, who is seen as a key figure in the club’s recent resurgence.
