Patrice Evra, a former defender for Manchester United, has given an explanation for why he believes the club’s demise is down to the great Sir Alex Ferguson.
After yet another rough start to the season, Manchester United still doesn’t appear to have much chance of winning the Premier League. Since Ferguson led the team to victory in the 2012–13 season during his final season as manager, the Red Devils have not won the English championship. After just eight games, the current team is presently in 12th place, 10 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Under Ferguson, Evra also had tremendous success at United, where she won numerous accolades, including the Champions League and five Premier League titles. Now, the Frenchman has offered his assessment on United’s ongoing issues and why he feels the players are struggling to fight for trophies and restore the club to its former glory.
“It’s always difficult to talk about United right now because we used to play for the fan, for the badge, for the history,” he said to BBC Sport. Some of those values are lost. I place the blame on Sir Alex Ferguson and myself. We departed too early, and the players find it challenging since they lack an example.
Despite winning the FA Cup and the League Cup while in command, Erik ten Hag’s future at the club remains questionable because of his inability to lead the team to the Premier League title. Additionally, the Dutchman has not performed well in European play with United; he will attempt to improve on Thursday when the Red Devils face Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
