WATCH | Patrice Evra says Man Utd's players 'need a slap' after Spurs

After Manchester United's 6-1 demolition by Spurs, Patrice Evra provided some very interesting TV as he tried to analyse the game.

Following Manchester United's record-equalling defeat to Tottenham, Patrice Evra had the difficult task of analysing a match which epitomised the issues at the club.

Since making the move from player to pundit, Evra has been highly vocal about United's inabilities to challenge for the title and that their recruitment policy is in disarray.

In the studio, after the game, the Frenchman was asked about his feelings and he sarcastically said that he wanted Sky Sports to let him go so that he wouldn't have to analyse Manchester United games.

"Alexis Sanchez made a comment that when he signed for Manchester United, after his first training session he asked his agent to wind up his contract. That's why I'm going to ask Sky, that I want to end my contract with Sky. This is my second game, I am a positive person, and I never want to talk about United because when you tell the truth it can hurt. I'm passionate and I love my club."

Criticism

The former Juventus, Monaco and Marseille defender then explained that when it comes to United, he has problems filtering his thoughts and doesn't want to land in hot water following a wayward remark, such is his passion.

"I know you have to have some filter when you talk on TV, but it's a shambles. Gary Neville, I heard him say that the captain Harry Maguire needs a holiday or a break. We're always talking about pairing him with someone, but what about taking him out of the squad?

"I don't want to start to criticise players, because I've been there. I've made many comments on the board, but tonight nobody can have any excuses. they let down all of the United fans. Every year is the same story.

"I feel now what all of the United fans feel, that's why I would prefer to do a different game to the United game if I keep working for Sky... I'm really emotional right now. It is difficult to break a man like me because I am a positive person. I don't promote violence, but many people need a good slap right now in this club.

Evra 'slap'

The French defender then said that "many of the Man Utd players need a good slap right now"' and that changes need to be made at the club.
