Patrice Evra pushing for improvement in Manchester United’s ranks – English Premier League
After their blistering performance against Chelsea on Sunday, Manchester United’s stand in captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 called on his side to improve especially after they were second best to a rampant Chelsea in the second half of their
3-1 win against the Blues at Old Trafford. Evra captained the side in absence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550 as United scored three goals in the first 45 minutes of the match.
The Frenchman was impressive in the encounter himself as he did well at his left back position but in the second half, United were pinned back by Chelsea who tried their best to play their way back into the match. The Red Devils
were awarded a penalty kick in the second half which was wasted by Rooney; regardless the home team secured three points at the final whistle.
Javier Hernandez suffered an injury during the second half therefore he is set to be out of action for around about 3-4 weeks but Sir Alex Ferguson has not spoken at length about the Mexican starlet’s fitness issues. United now
face Leeds United in the Carling Cup on Tuesday before matching up against Stoke City on the next weekend in the English Premier League. After that they are pencilled in to host F.C Basel at Old Trafford as a part of their UEFA Champions League campaign.
Evra stated in his post-match interview, "Maybe for the first time, we didn't control all the game. Five wins is a good start but I always want more. I'm happy to win but I hope in the next league game, against Stoke, we create
more and not try to rush things.”
He added, "I think we tried to rush things and gave the ball away too easily. It's why I'm not so happy. I'm happy because there are a lot of positive things and we scored three times against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 but, if we want to win the
league and win every game, we have to perform better than on Sunday."
Evra also called the encounter a boxing match due to the end to end play that both the teams indulged in, he also termed Chelsea as Manchester United’s main title challengers despite the rise of Manchester City. Patrice will most
likely be rested by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson as United take on Leeds in mid-week so that he can take the field for Manchester United when they travel to the Britannia Stadium to take on Stoke City in their next Premier League clash.
