Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra has praised Luke Shaw for the way he's fought back.

Evra was also impressed by Casemiro for last Sunday's win at Everton.

"I was massively pleased with Man United's win last time out, because Everton is a tough place to go. We got a good result in the Europa League, Cristiano didn't score but he had a good game, then against Everton he didn't start but came on and scored," Evra told Betfair.

"Football is so quick. We should give lots of credit to Ten Hag, because he made some more big decisions, he put Luke Shaw back in the team, Casemiro finally started and I think those two changes made the difference.

"I think Luke Shaw had enough with people saying [Tyrell] Malacia is the next Patrice Evra and he felt like he was the second player. I think he had a great performance and we have to give him credit. I love it when there's massive competition at full-back."

He added: "Finally Casemiro started. He doesn't need to adapt because he played in the Champions League against Premier League sides. Everyone was impatient and he ended up the Man of the Match. I'm not surprised.

"I think Ten Hag is in control. I was scared after the City game that some players would start losing faith in him but you can tell he's in charge and he's going to bring the team to their maximum level and that win against Everton was a massive result.

"Back in the day we would have lost that match, but we didn't and it's down to Ten Hag. He will refuse to let them go back to that mentality when they accept losing. He is the man.

"The two previous wins were fundamental and we now need another win and Cristiano Ronaldo to score again so that the goal machine carries on and on."
