Sir Alex Ferguson name-checked two first team players after the infamous 2011 Manchester derby loss at Old Trafford that saw Manchester City dismantle Manchester United 6-1.
The Old Trafford hero labelled that fateful October afternoon as his “worst day ever” as United boss in the season that saw the ‘noisy neighbours’ lift their first title in the Premier League era. One culprit was Jonny Evans, then 23, who was sent off for hauling down Mario Balotelli when he was through on goal with the score 1-0 to the visitors.
Speaking after the game, Sir Alex admitted Evans' dismissal dealt a major blow to his side on the day. "Jonny Evans' sending off was a killer for us,” he said.
