Patrice Evra is sticking by Cristiano Ronaldo even as the superstar's supporters continue to abandon him following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo rounded on Manchester United, Erik ten Hag, Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville in the interview. That has led to widespread condemnation from many pundits, including Rio Ferdinand, who has been one of Ronaldo's biggest backers since he returned to Old Trafford.
The interview appears to have damaged his relationship with United beyond repair, with many of his team-mates wanting him to be moved on. But Evra has conceded that he sympathises with Ronaldo, as he backed him to star at the World Cup.
