Evra demands response

Manchester United skipper Patrice Evra has accused his Manchester United team-mates of overconfidence ahead of a European campaign that turned out to be “a disaster”.

United crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday night, losing 2-1 to Athletic Bilbao, who completed a 5-3 aggregate win.

Given the way they were so comprehensively outplayed at Old Trafford seven days earlier, it was possibly the least surprising aspect of a dismal season in UEFA competition. United managed only three wins in 10 games across two tournaments.
