Man Utd news: Evra motivates the squad ahead of the final

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has shown his support for the club before the Europa League final against Tottenham.

The former left-back issued a rallying cry to the United players and urged them to show “resilience” and to fight for the jersey and the glory.

“Resilience and fighting – that’s what I want from you guys,” he said on social media. “Fight, bleed for this shirt, for the fans, for the staff, for the people in Manchester and all around the world. There’s no excuse, this is your duty.

“It’s going to be a tough game. Tottenham also have lot to lose, like us. They didn’t win a trophy so this is a massive chance for them. But this is not an excuse. We are Manchester United.

“Do you know how many fans are going to travel around the world and believe they are going to celebrate after the game because they believe in you guys?

“So like I said – bleed for this shirt, the history, think about your family. There is no other way than to win. Don’t be selfish. It’s a qualification for the Champions League.”
