He sent a message to the Manchester United players and said:
Manchester United are unbeaten in the Europa League this season and have done better than in the Premier League (16th). Tottenham are not unbeaten but have been worse than the Red Devils in the league this season (17th).
Patrice Evra wants the Manchester United players to win the Europa League final as it guarantees them a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. He added that they must bleed for the players and said via talkSPORT:
Manchester United have not beaten Tottenham since October 2022 across competitions. They have lost four times and drawn twice to Spurs since they last won against the London side.
