Former Manchester United vice-captain, Patrice Evra, has reacted to Ashley Young’s decision to join Everton.
Evra and Young were former teammates during their time together at Manchester United in the past.
Young recently completed a transfer move to Everton.
The 38-year-old last played for Aston Villa and has been a free agent since the expiration of his contract on June 30.
After completing his move this week, Evra reacted, commenting on Young’s social media post on Instagram: “My Soldier.”

Young previously made 261 appearances for Man United earlier in his career.
The full-back scored 19 goals and provided 43 assists for the Manchester club.
Meanwhile, Manchester United’s owners, the Glazers, put the club up for sale in November, 2022. Britain’s richest man, Sir. Jim Ratcliffe, and the Qatari contingent, led by Sheikh Jassim bin Al-Thani, are the leading bidders to take over the club.
However, the process is yet to be concluded. Without having a proper future project with the new owners, it’s hard for the Red Devils to make moves in the transfer market. Patrice Evra is unhappy with the situation, as he recently told The Times:
“We talk about this deal for how many months now? Since November. I think it is important for the fans, for the players and, of course, for Erik ten Hag. He is the right man [to be manager]. We don’t know who is going to be the new owner. We are already 20 miles back from Manchester City. Now, the question is: Can we stop this circus and find a solution and [have] the owner come as soon as possible? We need to find it now, before the season starts. When the season starts, it is already too late.”
Manchester United have already signed Mason Mount from Chelsea in the summer transfer window. However, the club have other big fish to fry as they brace for a return to the UCL. Hence, it is understandable why Evra might be unhappy with the current situation.
