The loss of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez this summer has not made Manchester United any weaker, claims Patrice Evra. "They are two big players, but the star of the team is the team," he said. "Two players alone do not make a team. We have signed some good players and, like I say, Manchester United are a team and not only about two players.

"I can already see a good team coming along and we are all confident about doing well with this team as it is."
