A former Manchester United star has praised manager Erik ten Hag for dropping three players this season after the poor start.
The Red Devils began the campaign with a 2-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion at Old Trafford, which was followed up by a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Brentford.
Ten Hag then made the decision to drop captain Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench for the Liverpool game and the team went on a four-game winning run.
'Man Utd Boss Ronaldo Need To Have Honest Discussion'
"I'm always positive, when I talk about United I talk with my heart," Evra told Betfair.
"The first two games were a nightmare, losing at home and away to Brentford.
"What I like about Ten Hag, and we have to give him a lot of credit, I think he has been fooled like other previous managers at the club. He got the players in preseason, everyone looked sharp, everyone looked great so you feel that you come in and maybe he thought he could do better than the previous manager with the same players, but it wasn't the case and that's why I think after the Brentford game he made some massive decisions."
"He dropped the captain, he put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, he gave the left-back Malacia an opportunity and that was a massive statement.
"Things changed with a few players, it's not because they were playing that bad, but around those players, there was a lot of negativity, and sometimes you have to get rid of this negativity. He had the courage to do it."
