Patrice Evra urges Manchester United players to do what Nemanja Vidic did after derby

Manchester United players must be honest with themselves like Nemanja Vidic used to be in order to bounce back from their defeat at Manchester City.

That's according to United great Patrice Evra, who pulled no punches as he said the players 'bottled' the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

United went into Sunday's derby with confidence after beating Liverpool and Arsenal in a four-game winning streak but they were soon brought down to earth.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden both scored hat-tricks as the Blues hit their neighbours for six, with Anthony Martial's cameo the only positive for Erik ten Hag as his two goals saved his side some face.
