Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra has taken aim at Wayne Rooney over his claims the club cannot compete for trophies. United have made a poor start to the Premier League season by their standards, lying fourth in the table and already five points adrift of leads Chelsea. But, despite missing out on the title last year too, Evra says he's at the club to win trophies, and that the squad is still the best in the country.
Evra said: "If one player does not trust the other players, that player should not play. I am not like that as I trust everyone and I know we can win."
He added: "I've been here for four years and every time until last year I have won the league. It hurt - this is Manchester United and we must win trophies. That is the pressure of playing here.
"No team is better than us at the moment - you may think I'm crazy but I say it because it's true. Manchester belong at the top and I'm confident we can do that.
"We need to be professional. We need to perform - I don't like excuses about what's going on around the club. Everyone needs to focus on themselves."
