BREAKING NEWS: Patrice Evra has accused two Manchester United legends of being responsible for the “chaos” at Old Trafford. He expressed his concerns about the current state of the club, asserting that the standards being shown are “not good enough.”

Patrice Evra, a Manchester United legend, has identified two key figures he believes are responsible for the club’s ongoing struggles: himself and former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. In a candid interview, Evra reflected on United’s decline since Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, which marked the end of a 27-year era filled with unprecedented success.

During Ferguson’s reign, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, four League Cups, and two Champions League trophies. However, since his departure, the club has been unable to replicate this dominance.

Several managers have tried to bring United back to the top, including David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but none managed to achieve sustained success.

The current manager, Erik ten Hag, joined in 2022 after a successful period at Ajax. Although he secured both the FA Cup and League Cup in his first two seasons, inconsistency has plagued United, particularly in the Premier League and European competitions.

Evra’s comments come during one of United’s worst starts in recent history. Last season, they finished a disappointing eighth in the Premier League, and this season has not shown much improvement, with the team sitting in 12th place after eight matches of the 2024/25 campaign.

Evra pointed to a leadership void created by the departures of Ferguson and himself, which he believes has left the club without strong personalities to guide the players through challenging times. He noted that when he and Ferguson left, they did so too early, leaving the team without role models.

Evra’s views highlight the deeper issues within the club beyond just poor results on the pitch. He believes that the current squad lacks the direction and leadership that was once a hallmark of Manchester United under Ferguson.

Evra’s reflections, combined with the missed opportunity to sign another football legend, Edgar Davids, emphasize the lasting impact of Ferguson’s influence. Without his leadership, United has struggled to attract elite talent and regain the stature it once had under Ferguson’s guidance.
