According to former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra, the future of the club is bright with the emergence of young talents Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho. Despite the pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, Evra remains optimistic and believes that the support from the club's leaders will help the team turn their season around.
The Red Devils have had a rough start to the season, with only two wins in their first six Premier League games and a disappointing draw in the Europa League against FC Twente. This has led to speculation about Ten Hag's future at the club, with many calling for his sacking. However, Evra believes that the team will bounce back, especially with crucial upcoming matches against Porto and Aston Villa.
"People keep talking about Ten Hag being sacked, but from my experience, he always wins the games that are seen as his last chance," Evra said in an interview with Sky Sports. "I'm not worried, I have faith in him and the team."
Evra also opened up about his emotional connection to the club, admitting that he sometimes begged not to commentate on Manchester United matches for Sky Sports because it was difficult for him to see his former team struggle. "When you love your club so much, it's painful to see them not performing well," he said.
Despite the team's recent struggles, Evra sees a glimmer of hope in the young talents coming through the academy. He had a conversation with Mainoo and praised his performance, saying, "Keep doing what you're doing, this is United." Evra also compared Mainoo and Garnacho to the legends of his time, such as Nicky Butt, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes, and believes that they have the same "Manchester United DNA."
In the end, Evra remains positive and believes that the team will come out of this rough patch stronger. He sees the young talents as a positive aspect of the club and is excited to see them play with no fear. "This is what we want to see, players who embody the spirit of Manchester United," he said.
So, despite the pressure on Ten Hag and the disappointment of recent results, Evra sees a bright future for Manchester United with the talented youngsters at the club. As a fan, he believes in the team and is confident that they will turn things around.
