Manchester United icon Patrice Evra revealed the devastating moment when Sir Alex Ferguson took the captaincy away from him.
The French legend was often considered a large part of the locker room and a leader on and off the field.
Fans remember him incredibly fondly and there is good reason for it, as it was an integral part of an initial XI that won countless trophies.
Evra still shows his undying love for the club despite having left and retired for a few years.
Supporters still see him in and around Old Trafford, as well as away games, backing up the players and manager often publicly.
Evra losing the captaincy: “Sir Alex Ferguson said to shake my hand, to sign another four years. I shook his hand but he said that I am sorry to give the bracelet to Vidic, because although I knew he did not want to leave you on trial and I do not know if you are loyal”. #MUFC [MU]

It seems harsh on Sir Alex’s part, but he was almost never wrong and going from Evra to Nemanja Vidic is not a downgrade.
To be fair to the former Juventus player, a player doesn’t necessarily need a bracelet to lead, so he was as comprehensive as before.
Evra’s talent and stature have been so missed that United has struggled to replace him since he left so many years ago.
Luke Shaw has started growing in his role now more than ever, but he has a long way to go before reaching the same heights.
United may have to end their Premier League season on neutral grounds as authorities try to ensure the safety of the players. How much do you know about those games that the Red Devils haven’t played at home or away in the past? Take our quiz below to find out.
