Patrice Evra struggled to contain his disgust with his former club Manchester United after watching them lose 6-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
United led after receiving a penalty in 30 seconds, converted by Bruno Fernandes, but the Spurs quickly responded through Tanguy Ndombele and Son Heung-Min before the floodgates opened after a red card for Anthony Martial.
Son scored again, while Harry Kane got two and Serge Aurier was also on the score sheet.
Speaking in Sky sportsEvra said he might have to quit his job as an expert if it involved looking at more such performances.
“Alexis Sánchez said that after his first training session he asked his agent to terminate his contract,” he said. “That’s what I’m going to ask Sky because this is my second game where it works… I’m a positive person and I never want to talk about United because telling the truth can hurt.
“I am passionate, I love my club. I know I have to have a filter when I speak on television, but that was a disaster.
“They disappointed all the United fans. I don’t care about the result, they beat me 6-1, but every year I feel the same, so I prefer to work on a different game if I stay at Sky. “
The result It will raise questions about the progress made under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but Evra said the blame should go higher.
“We’ll talk about the manager, but what about the board?” he said. “How many years since (Sir Alex Ferguson) left, how many managers have now been laid off? We talk about Ole, maybe it’s the man, maybe not, but we don’t know about transfers.
“It is difficult to break a man like me, I am a positive person. I don’t encourage violence but a lot of people need a good slap right now, that’s what I would do if I was working for the club.
“It’s about the body language, the love for that shirt, the passion, I don’t see that any player understands wearing that shirt. You continue with the history of the club. “
Neville throws a ‘pathetic’ performance
The deals for Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles could be completed before the transfer deadline on Monday night.But Gary Neville said that the lack of action in the market to date was having an impact on the mindset of the existing team.
“There is no excuse for the 11 players on the court, or the 13, 14 players involved in the game because that was absolutely pathetic,” Neville said. “The body language was terrible, cowardly.
“Off the court, the things with Harry Maguire, Mason Greenwood, the darkness around recruiting… You see Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, all signing players. By the time the Spurs go 2-1, all those negative thoughts drain all confidence.
“It is not good, but it is what happened.
“City have spent 150 million pounds, Liverpool have signed (Diogo) Jota and Thiago (Alcantara). They have drifted away psychologically even before the season started.
“The psychological damage of not bringing in players is hampering current players. The club’s job is to build title-winning teams. Manchester United have to win the title. We cannot drop those standards. “
