Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra has hit out at the current players.

United have endured a dismal campaign, recording their lowest Premier League points tally and failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Their poor performance has sparked acrimony in the stands and on social media, with furious fans criticising the team, interim manager Ralf Rangnick and the controversial Glazer ownership of the club.

Speaking after a United legends side were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool, Evra said the players must "bleed for the badge" as the club embarks on a revolution under new manager Erik ten Hag.

"You see how crazy [the atmosphere] is and that's what it should be like for the first squad," Evra told the Mirror after the charity match at Old Trafford on Saturday.

"Because [the legends] today felt like the players they were in the field in the past; they give everything, they fight for the badge.

"They didn't come here for the money, they didn't come here to get famous. You can't lie to the United fans, you can't lie. So when you bleed for the badge, you run like crazy, they will support you.

"We've got the best supporters in the world. You see again today for the [Manchester United] foundation how many people show up and how happy they are even when we get beat by Liverpool."
