Patrice Evra and David Moyes had a huge row over a BACON SANDWICH at Man Utd – and French defender refused to back down


PATRICE EVRA and David Moyes once had a row over a bacon sandwich while at Manchester United.

The Scottish manager endured a miserable year at Old Trafford as he attempted to replace Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

He would lose his job before the end of the season as he became the first of several bosses to fail to revive the Red Devils.

His time at the club would include a bizarre fallout with Evra which almost symbolised the dysfunction at the club.

Ahead of a Champions League away game, club staff were handing out bacon butties at the airport.

But the Manchester Evening News reported that Moyes was infuriated when Evra took one of the sandwiches.

The row did not end there though with the left-back having the last laugh.

While on the flight, the impish defender is rumoured to have somehow made an announcement where he told passengers over the tannoy system that the menu had changed and bacon sandwiches would be served.

Whatever beef the pair had, they appeared to kiss and make up years later when Evra joined Moyes at West Ham as the pair attempted to save the Hammers’ bacon and stave off relegation.

Although their relationship may have entered awkward territory again after the 41-year-old’s eyebrow-raising comments on Sky Sports a few years ago.
