Patrice Evra Identifies in Form Man United's Biggest Flaw Ahead Of Manchester Derby

Former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has expressed concern about the club’s inability to control games ahead of the Manchester derby. 

The two Premier League giants face off on Saturday, January 14 in a game that will possibly dictate the course of the rest of the season. 

United go into the game as the on form team, having won all seven games played since the World Cup concluded. 

For City, they have to rediscover their potency after a shock 2-0 defeat to bottom side Southampton in the Carabao Cup. 

Despite the club’s decent form, Evra is worried his former side may not have the stuff to dominate City, who won 6-3 in the reverse fixture.

 “I think United are now more consistent, I expect this season to be like a rollercoaster but at the moment we have more ups than downs,” Evra, who won five Premier League titles at United told Betfair, cited on Express Sport. 

 “There are two things that I still don't like about United, the first is they aren't clinical enough and secondly they aren't in charge, they aren't in control. 

"Maybe the team isn't ready yet to be in control for 90 minutes or even 70 minutes. When we play against teams, yes we're winning, but we still aren't in control and this is dangerous, especially when you play against teams like Man City.
