Patrice Evra has dismissed Cristiano Ronaldo's critics as "jealous" in a fresh defence of the Manchester United superstar - and claimed that he saw Paul Pogba's sorry situation coming.
The ex-Red Devils left-back has once again laid bare his feelings amid United's perilous predicament, as new manager Erik ten Hag sets out on his long-awaited revolution. Old teammate Ronaldo received plenty of criticism throughout a miserable season for the Red Devils, despite scoring 24 Premier League and Champions League goals.
Evra, however, believes that his ex-United pal would be welcome at any top club, while their best players wouldn't fare as well thanks to the current state of affairs at Old Trafford. "Cristiano - it's not a question," the Frenchman told Mirror Football after featuring in a legends charity match against eternal enemies Liverpool on Saturday, which raised £1.3million.
