Manchester United icon hits back at Graeme Souness over his brutal Erik ten Hag assessment

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has hit back at Graeme Souness after the former Liverpool captain claimed that "no one will remember" Erik ten Hag amid his recent dispute with Cristiano Ronaldo.

After refusing to come on as a last-minute substitute during the 2-0 win over Tottenham last month, Ronaldo stormed down the Old Trafford tunnel before full-time. Ten Hag then made the decision to drop the United man from the Chelsea squad the following week, as a punishment for his actions.

The dust has somewhat settled since then, as Ronaldo played a full 90 minutes during the 1-0 win over West Ham on Sunday. With the 37-year-old seemingly set for successive starts against Real Sociedad on Thursday night, it appears that the incident may well truly be in the past.
