Man Utd hero Evra: No locker room leadership

Manchester United hero Patrice Evra says there's problems at the club on and off the pitch.

Evra says they're missing leadership inside the club.

He told Sky Sports: "I know I am talking 'old school'. I don't want to blame the players because I think that some players are here and they themselves don't even know why they are here.

"They don't have leadership in the dressing room to show them what it means to play for Manchester United. In our time, I remember I played nine years for United and for seven years I don't think I lost two games in a row

"When I met Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill in Monaco at the time, when they interviewed me, they asked me questions like 'are you going to be ready to not lose any games?' and 'are you ready to play only at the top of the game and get criticised for a normal game?' You had figures at the club who tell you what you are going to represent.

"The problem now is on the pitch but also off the pitch."
