Man Utd fullback Evra warned of Uruguay gauntlet

Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra must face down Luis Suarez's Uruguay teammates later this year.

There is uproar in South America over the Liverpool man's eight-match ban, and the clash between Evra's country and Uruguay in August threatens to become an all-out war, reports the People.

FC Porto's Alvaro Pereira said: "Evra is going to have to wear body armour. If I 'm called negro, I laugh. But now it's a crime to say something on the pitch.

"If this happened in South America, they'd have to suspend everyone. I think Man United tried to take advantage of this situation and prevent one of Liverpool's best players from playing. That's sad."
