NO MORE SLIP UPS

After dropping points in the match against Cardiff last weekend, Manchester United defender Patrice Evra said that the club cannot afford to drop any more points when they take on Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Sunday. They will be meeting an opposition who were beaten by Manchester City 6-0 only last weekend. Hence, they are expected to put in a spirited performance against the champions, but that should not stop the Red Devils from dropping any more points according to Evra. The French defender scored in the 2-2 draw against Cardiff from yet another set piece goal.

Despite being one of the shortest player from the pitch, the 32-year-old has been able to score most of his goals for United from set pieces. United come into the encounter on the back of an unbeatable, which has seen them carry on without a defeat for the last 11 matches. Since they have a relatively tough period in the next few weeks, three points at Tottenham will be of paramount importance. It will also help them stay in touch with Arsenal, who are already eight points ahead of them in the table.

“People always write Manchester United off. Remember last year people were saying the same then, but in the end we won the league by 13 (sic) points. People think I just say that to look good but it is the truth. Wait until the end of the season. Every game, every year is a challenge playing for Man United. We are strong. We have mentally strong characters. We have to show we love this team,” said Evra ahead of the match.

Evra has said that United cannot afford to drop any more points if they want to win the title. Tottenham looked extremely poor especially in defence as they were ripped apart by City.

POGBA WAS GREAT

French defender Patrice Evra has said that Manchester United lost a great player when they could not hold on to the services of Paul Pogba, who definitely for Juventus on a free transfer in 2012. The midfielder was one of the greatest players to come from the United academy. He was often compared with Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira as he had the qualities of both players. Yet, Ferguson’s refusal to give him a starting spot in the match against Blackburn cost the club their ability to retain the 20-year-old French international.

He is developing into one of the best midfielders in the world at Juventus. His international teammate Evra has said that Pogba would have been a great player for United because it is very difficult to find a player that has all the attributes as the 20-year-old. According to Evra, Pogba is someone who does not have the physical presence alone, but has the aggression and technical ability to match his presence in the centre of midfield. Pogba has discovered another side to his game by scoring a lot of goals for Juventus this season.

Pogba has been included in the French squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against England and also the friendly against Australia. Pogba recently scored the only goal of the game in the 1-0 win over Torino.

“His [Pogba’s] talent on the pitch, his aggression, his presence, is very rare. He very quickly earned the respect of players like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. It’s true that have you have to win over the manager too, but to have won the dressing room like he did [was impressive]. It was truly a huge loss when he left the club,” said the former Monaco defender. “Against Blackburn, on December 31, 2011, I was on the bench. Ferguson puts Rafael in midfield with Ji-Sung Park. Then I gave up. I was really bummed,” said Pogba after leaving United.
