PATRICE EVRA launched an passionate tirade after Manchester United went into half-time 4-1 down in their humiliation against Spurs.
The Red Devils legend told fans to ‘go on the Playstation and buy Jadon Sancho and Lionel Messi’ following the Old Trafford disaster.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had actually taken an instant lead against Spurs after Bruno Fernandes swept home a third-minute penalty.
But United soon unraveled as Tanguy N’dombele and Son Heung-min quickly fired back to put the away side in front.
Anthony Martial then harshly saw red for raising his hand to Erik Lamela’s face and Spurs used their man advantage to put United to the sword.
Son added a second before Harry Kane got on the score-sheet to put the visitors 4-1 up at the break and Evra couldn’t hide his anger.
My advice to any fan right now is to buy a PlayStation. Buy a player like Sancho, even Messi and start playing because it is a disaster.
Patrice Evra
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I don’t know if I have to comment like all of this – we get lucky, Tottenham give us a penalty away.
“I’ve been losing in my career with Manchester United – six one against Manchester City, (Sir Alex) Ferguson was furious after the game.
“He said ‘why do you keep attacking Patrice?’ and I say it’s because its the philosophy of the club.
“But are you seeing this right now? That’s why I don’t even want to comment because it is a catastrophe what is happening right now.
“My advice to any fan right now is to buy a PlayStation. Buy a player like Sancho, even Messi and start playing because it is a disaster.
“I’ve been a player so that’s why I don’t like to go on one player, but all of the defence is a shock.
“Bailly has the chance to play instead of Lindelof and he made that mistake – so don’t cry when you don’t play.
“I’m devastated and I am a positive person, but right now I understand, like the pain of all United fans, because no one in this team deserves to play right now.”
United ultimately fell to a crushing 6-1 defeat and speaking after the match, Evra claimed he would resign from his duties as a pundit on Sky Sports.
The Frenchman looked inconsolable and suggested “some people need a slap”.
He added: “Alexis Sanchez made a comment when he signed for United, in his first training session he asked his agent to end his contract.
“That’s what I am going to ask Sky. I really would like to end my contract with Sky.
“It is my second game, I’m a positive person and I never wanted to talk about United because when you tell the truth it can hurt. I am passionate and I love my club.
Gary Neville I heard him say captain Harry Maguire needs a holiday. We always hear about pairing him with someone. But what about taking him out of the squad?

“I know you have to have some filter when you talk on TV but it is a shambles.
“Gary Neville I heard him say captain Harry Maguire needs a holiday. We always hear about pairing him with someone. But what about taking him out of the squad?
“I don’t want to start to criticise players. I am someone who’s been there. I make many comments about the board but tonight no one has any excuse.
“They let down all the United fans. I don’t care about the result because I have been beaten 6-1. But it’s just about every year it’s the same story. Right now I feel all the United fans.
“That’s why right now I prefer to do another game than a United game.”
