Evra backs Glazer protests
Patrice Evra has become the first Manchester United player to back the fans protests against the Glazer regime.
The French left back spoke after he Carling Cup final win against Aston Villa, and while he didn’t mention Glazer directly, he hinted that he is aware of the fans concerns regarding the current owners and acknowledges the reasons why they have recently been wearing the green and gold of Newton Heath.
“They are the original colours of Manchester United, and the fans wear them because they love this club,” he told the Blomberg News Agency.
“They have their reasons for doing it and we don’t think that they are crazy. They’d like things to change.”
The wording of his comments suggest he’s not alone in backing our right to protest. His use of the word “we” seems to imply that other players in the squad share his opinion.
With reports suggesting the Glazer’s are maintaining their stance of “Manchester United is not for sale“, any publicity is good publicity for the campaign to rid United of the Glazer’s, particularly when it comes from one of the team’s most influential players.
