Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra has taken aim at Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

Evra, who has now turned to punditry, believes City's current side are sorely lacking in leaders, despite them bouncing back from heartbreak to beat Newcastle and move a step closer to the Premier League title.

"Manchester City needs leaders, but Guardiola doesn't want leaders," the 40-year-old said. "He doesn't want personality. He's the leader.

"That's why when they're in trouble they don't want to.

"They don't have anyone on the pitch to help them."

He added: "He chooses his teams like that, he can't train people with personality. He did it at Barcelona, but he builds his team to control everyone.

"When things go wrong, he always decides."
