Amongst footballing managerial 'Gods'
Evra is just looking for a job. He has no experience and will offer as much as Ole is offering United as our manager. If he sends his cv, it will just say, “I love dis game,” and “United way.” Not qualified.

Am I the only one that doesn't understand what he's actually getting at?
I think he is alluding to the ex players coming in and helping the football and coaching side of the club. Watching today, I only watched the first half and concluded that we were done when the first goal went in, we look poorly coached on every aspect of the game.

He may not be qualified, but if he wanted the job, he wouldn't be publicly criticizing the board, which is what the tweet amounts to.

He wants the DoF role, doesn't he?

I love Evra and want him involved in the club, but not as DoF.
He has already refused it. He is all talk unfortunately.

He should have taken the role. He is a sensible man, he would have known to put a good team around him.

I assume, like Jose before him, that Ole was let down massively in the transfer market this summer by Woodward and that Evra is calling him out on it.

What an absolutely moronic thing to post. Undermines the manager and his staff.

Don't need another ex-player muddying waters.
As opposed to letting the current situation just carry on?

The more unrest the better as the club is dying under the current management and board

Some silly responses in this thread. All he's saying is, let us as winners help this squad out.
Nothing wrong with that.

Structurally, don't most top European clubs have ex-players in roles above the manager? It certainly seems we have a deficit of expertise beyond the manager position at the moment. If Evra is alluding to the idea that the board have been unwilling to introduce that expertise then he may be correct, even if he isn't the person for the job.

at least he has the balls to go after the board. Neville never mentions them as he likely wants a job and wants to be on good terms.

This clubs hires the wrong people, buys the wrong players. The common denominator is the CEO and owners.

Don’t see Neville ever wanting/needing a United job as much as you may dislike him. Pretty sure he would go to town on them if he wasn’t employed by sky/aka one of United biggest contributors.

Not sure why people are jumping to conclusions. We don't know what it's referring to exactly, but we do know things need to change so I'm quite happy with someone like him calling for it.

Can only think he's talking about helping the club with transfers, because we frankly haven't a clue.

Whether the right person is Evra or not, I dont know, but our club is poorly ran and needs change.

Also told a Spurs fan who claimed Dybala would go Spurs to "keep dreaming".

Love Evra to death, but this is not the right time or day to instill false hope/joke around with the fans unless there is actually something going around behind the scenes.

I don't understand what Evra wants. He's doing his coaching licence and has said he wants to be manager.

So I wonder how he'd be helping the team?

Is that a real account? I think hes getting the sack for that one.

Maybe he's on about working with the first team team to raise moral.

Trouble is I don't think any amount of ex players can help.

Someone replied asking what he's proposing, Evra's reply "my life"

This man bleeds United. Get him on the coaching staff ffs. I don't care if he's tactically inept, we need someone with his passion to wake these cnuts up.
This! We need some feckin characters with the passion to demand these players know the level expected to put that shirt on.

Somebody vocal in the dressing room and on the training pitch to slap the stupid out of some of these players and help maintain the standards.

I can’t see how it would do any harm so long as Ole can keep him in check. One of the things I hate most about this United team is the lack of characters demanding the United standard.

We went from many leaders to zero, not a single leader within the playing staff.

I don’t blame him really, like a few have said unfortunately being probably the most talked about club going you will get pundits popping out from everywhere as it’s what most broadcasters want to talk about.

At least Evra just shows pure passion for the team and that he wants to help. You have to give him credit for that.

Forget Evra, I’m almost at the stage of thinking whereby hiring Keane somewhere on the staff might be the answer. The more I watch that apathetic bunch of wasters the more inclined I am to think that a straight talking, no nonsense approach is the only thing that might awaken them. Some of them look beyond repair.

Apparently, Fergie called Evra and Giggs in his office and said that the two of them would make really good managers some day. But then again, Fergie did pick Moyes as his successor, so you've got to take his words with a grain of salt. Evra doesn't have a managerial CV but the players need a kick up the butt and I think getting Evra in as the "coach" could give some players a reality check which the current coaching staff have failed to do. Ideally, Roy Keane would be my choice but then again, I could see the team going on strike due to his ruthless and demanding standards.

I'd be more inclined to go with the bottom one. What's wrong with an ex player professing love for the club and offering help?
Exactly, I'm tired of hearing people like Ferdinand and Gary Neville reiterating that Ole needs more time. Evra sounds more of a doer than those fools.

My guess. Something has been under discussion for a long time, I remember last season Evra was sitting beside Woodward, discussions have drawn out maybe Ed is being reluctant or indecisive and this is Evra trying to force the issue.

Look at what Neville does not what he says. Managers get sacked at the drop of a hat at Salford the minute expectations are not met.

Dybala as a saviour of this squad? I don't see it. I think we were right not to bend over backwards to sign him on a mega deal.

I love Evra, but we need a competent DoF. The best Evra and ex players can do is undermine Woodward and the board until they feel pressed to hire competent people and grant them authority.
