Five-time Premier League winner Patrice Evra says the future at Manchester United is “not bright”, with his old club having been “in a chaos” for more than a decade.
The Old Trafford side last won the league title in 2013, their last season under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and sit 12th in the table under current boss Erik ten Hag.
Evra left a year after Ferguson and the former France captain believes United are still counting the cost of losing such trophy-winning experience.
“It’s always tough to talk about United right now because back in the day we used to play for the fan, for the badge, for the history,” he told BBC Sport NI.
A smiling Evra added: “I blame myself, I blame Sir Alex Ferguson”.
“When we left, we left too early and it’s difficult for the players because they don’t have any example,” he added.
“I’m not inside, I don’t know what the problem is. The manager Ten Hag is trying to do his best – it’s not good enough. But it’s not just about this season, it’s since we won the last league in 2013, the club has been like in a chaos.”
