Manchester United icon Patrice Evra has launched a scathing attack on Theo Walcott following the former Arsenal winger’s recent comments regarding the legendary 2008 Red Devils squad.
The outspoken Frenchman suggested that Walcott should no longer be allowed on television after he compared the current Arsenal team to the greatest side in the history of Manchester United.
Theo Walcott Questions Manchester United Greatness
The controversy began during a broadcast where Walcott sat alongside Wayne Rooney and Gabby Logan to discuss the current state of Mikel Arteta’s title chasing Arsenal squad.
Walcott asked Rooney if the current Arsenal group could compete with the famous 2008 Manchester United team that secured both the Premier League and the Champions League trophies.
Rooney did not hesitate for a second and claimed that his former side would easily batter the modern Arsenal team during a swift response that went viral online.
Patrice Evra Labels Arsenal Fans Delusional
Appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, Evra reacted with genuine disbelief when he heard that Walcott had even attempted to make such a bold footballing comparison.
The former Manchester United defender stated that Walcott is a menace to society for suggesting that the current Arsenal crop is on the same level as legends.
Evra claimed that such questions show a total lack of respect for the achievements of the Manchester United team that dominated European football under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Wayne Rooney Challenges Arsenal Supporters
While Evra focused on the pundits, Wayne Rooney recently turned his attention toward the Arsenal fan base and their impact on the current Premier League title race.
The Manchester United record goalscorer suggested that the fans at the Emirates Stadium need to provide much better support if they want to finally win the league.
Rooney noted that the atmosphere during recent home matches has let the players down and might be hindering the team as they chase their first title in decades.
