Patrice Evra claims some Arsenal players tackled
him unfairly at Old Trafford because they ‘did not understand his
humour’.
The Manchester United left back, who called the
Champions League clash with The Gunners a match between ‘men and
children’, has said he was teasing the Londoners.
The young players expressed their anger at the defender on
Saturday, with some Gunners giving special treatment to him,
including Samir Nasri, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie.
Evra has ironically reacted and explained his words by saying he
was just ‘teasing’ Arsenal, but instead of playing down the
controversy, he has once again attacked them by claiming they may
be jealous of United’s success.
“They did not understand my humour,” Evra said on Canal+. “I
like teasing.
“During the game the referee came to tell me he was going to
protect me and that I should not make mistakes.
“Maybe they are jealous because we are champions and qualified
for the Champions League final.”
