Manchester United favourite Patrice Evra has praised boss Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils may have been beaten 7-0 by their rivals Liverpool at the weekend in the Premier League.

However, manager ten Hag has overseen an improvement on last season that has them in third in the Premier League and with the Carabao Cup in the trophy cabinet.

After the game, speaking on the FIVE podcast, Evra said: "I never got carried away.

"With this team, they are going in the right direction, but they are not yet ready [to win the Premier League]. I am not delusional. As a United fan, I will think about the title, but I will be honest with you, I never think United will be able to win [this season], because it is a process."

Evra continued: "Ten Hag is already doing some miracles so people forget where we come from. We already have a trophy. Of course, that is a massive loss - seven goals is a lot and you can question the defence - but it is a million times harder to take against Liverpool. We cannot forget what this team is now doing."
