Football: Evra hits out at Tevez

Manchester United’s Patrice Evra has criticised Carlos Tevez for displaying a ‘RIP Fergie’ banner during Manchester City’s title celebrations, according to ESPN. “I was very surprised by Tevez’s attitude against Sir Alex Ferguson,” said Evra. “I’m not sure how the manager feels about it but I’m sure he won’t be impressed.” Evra, who had a close friendship with Tevez during his time at United, suggested he has now lost the respect for the United players. “It’s disrespectful. Tevez spent two years at this club and was treated extremely well by the manager so I don’t really understand his reaction or the truth about the situation.”
