Man Utd trio ignored Patrice Evra's advice to leave club - and decision may have backfired

All three of Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw may now be wishing they had listened to the advice of ex-Manchester United star Patrice Evra as they each sit on the Old Trafford bench.

In the aftermath of United's 2-1 home win over Liverpool last month, the Frenchman insisted that the trio should leave the club before the summer transfer window ended amid fears over the amount of playing time they would all get under Erik ten Hag.

Not one of them started for the game against the Reds, with Ronaldo the only one actually featuring in any capacity at all after he was brought off the bench with just four minutes left to play. It doesn't look as if any of them will force their way into the starting XI any time soon amid United's recent run of stellar results.
