Former France international, Patrice Evra has slammed Manchester United legends Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Roy Keane while defending caretaker manager Michael Carrick.
Evra, a former Manchester United left-back, criticized Scholes, Neville and Keane over an ‘unnecessary and negative analysis’ they made about Carrick.
Carrick has won seven out of his first eight games for the Red Devils since he was appointed on an interim basis.
But after Newcastle United defeated Man United at St James’ Park last week, Scholes took a dig at Carrick.
Similarly, Neville and Keane had also criticized Carrick in the past, as they suggested that Man United should not appoint him as permanent manager at the end of the season.
Evra is not pleased with the three former Man Utd players over their comments on Carrick.
The Frenchman told Stake, as quoted by Metro UK: “I hope Paul Scholes’ Instagram story is fake. To be honest, I’m not surprised at that from Scholesy.
“I really don’t understand the lack of support behind Michael Carrick. He is one of us, and he is doing very well. There has been negative analysis from Scholesy, but also from Roy Keane and Gary Neville.
“It annoys me because we want to be in the top four, and those comments are unnecessary, but this is what you do when you work in TV. You can’t be positive, you have to be negative.”
