Evra concern for United defence
PATRICE Evra admits he is concerned by United's defending.
United required another thrilling late comeback just to snatch a 2-2 draw as Sunderland came within 90 seconds of recording their first win at Old Trafford since 1968.
The Black Cats were denied when Evra's shot flew in off Anton Ferdinand.
But there was no back- slapping in the home dressing room, just frustration at an inability to keep Sunderland out.
"I am worried that we are not keeping clean sheets," said Evra.
"I am not happy about it because if you want to win the league you have to keep clean sheets.
"Last year we only conceded 21 goals. We can't concede more than that this season."
In fact, United have conceded eight in their opening eight matches and kept four clean sheets as a sudden frailty on home soil seems to have come to light.
Three goals against City a fortnight ago, followed by another two on Saturday, does not make happy reading, with goalkeeper Ben Foster's contribution a particular concern.
Evra added: "It was a big disappointment. It is very frustrating because it looked like we had no energy or power. I don't know why. It was just very poor. I don't know if we even deserved a point."
What is going wrong in United's defence? Have your say.
