Patrice Evra loses his cool and condemns Manchester United after Spurs loss
Former United defender threatened to quit his role on Sky Sports if he has to cover another game featuring the club he loves after allowing the emotion to pour out of him following the 6-1 defeat

Patrice Evra branded Manchester United a "shambles" after watching their 6-1 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur as they capitulated at Old Trafford.

United led after being awarded a penalty inside 30 seconds, converted by Bruno Fernandes, but Spurs quickly hit back through Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-min before the floodgates opened following a red card for Anthony Martial.

Son scored again, while Harry Kane got two and Serge Aurier was also on the scoresheet.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Evra said he might have to quit his job as a pundit if it involved analysing any more such performances.

"Alexis Sanchez said after his first training session he asked his agent to end his contract," he said. "That's what I'm going to ask Sky because this is my second game working … I'm a positive person and I never want to talk about United because telling the truth can hurt.

"I'm passionate, I love my club. I know I have to have some filter when I talk on TV, but that was a shambles.

"They let down all United fans. I don't care about the result, I've been beaten 6-1, but every year I feel the same, that's why I prefer to work on a different game if I stay at Sky."

The result will raise questions over the progress made under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but Evra said the blame should go higher up.

"We will talk about the manager but what about the board?" he said. "How many years now since (Sir Alex Ferguson) left, how many managers have been sacked now? We talk about Ole, maybe he's the man, maybe not, but we don't know about the transfers.

"It's difficult to break a man like me, I'm a positive person. I don't promote violence but many people need a good slap right now, that's what I would do if I'm working for the club.
"It's about the body language, the love for that shirt, the passion, I don't see any players understanding wearing that shirt. You're carrying on the story of the club."
