“I never got carried away,” said Patrice Evra on Rio Ferdinand’s VIBE with Five podcast while discussing the 7-0 defeat to Liverpool.
“With this team, they are going in the right direction, but they are not yet ready [to win the Premier League]. I am not delusional.
“As a [Manchester] United fan, I will think about the title, but I will be honest with you, I never think United will be able to win [this season], because it is a process.”

The Old Trafford legend continued: “[Erik] Ten Hag is already doing some miracles so people forget where we come from.
“We already have a trophy. Of course, that is a massive loss – seven goals is a lot and you can question the defence – but it is a million times harder to take against Liverpool. We cannot forget what this team is now doing.”
There’s been a significant spike in hateful comments towards the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Antony and Diogo Dalot after the damning result. Although it’s sad to see, no one can say this wasn’t expected.
Evra is right but the embarrassing loss is a bitter pill to swallow after all of our progress this season.
