Live from Old Trafford, tensions erupted as Manchester United legend Patrice Evra unleashed a blistering rant at summer recruit Manuel Ugarte after United’s painful loss to Arsenal.
The outspoken Frenchman pulled no punches, branding Ugarte a “huge flop” and demanding he be sold without delay.
Evra’s fury was on full display as he tore into the midfielder after the final whistle:
“Get rid of him now! He singlehandedly cost us the match today. After this disaster, he doesn’t deserve to wear the shirt again. Arsenal weren’t even better than us, but because of his reckless, brainless mistakes, we couldn’t win. One useless performance ruined everything! Enough is enough—ship him out before he wrecks us further.”
His fiery words left fans stunned, with social media instantly ablaze in heated debate over Ugarte’s future. For a club legend to so openly demand the departure of a current player in such ruthless fashion is nothing short of sensational.
Signed to add grit and control in midfield, the Uruguayan instead delivered a nightmare display against the Gunners. Misplaced passes, poor positioning, and critical errors exposed United, leading Evra to pin the collapse squarely on him.
The anger carried into the stands, with boos ringing out at the final whistle. “We don’t want him here anymore,” one furious supporter shouted. “How can he play that badly in such a big game?”
For manager Ruben Amorim, the storm only deepens the pressure. Already questioned for consistency, he now faces calls from one of United’s most respected voices to axe Ugarte immediately.
The fallout from this defeat will dominate discussions for days. One thing is certain: Patrice Evra’s raw outburst has shaken the club—and his words won’t be brushed aside.
