Manchester United's Patrice Evra stands by attack on 'rubbish' Arsenal

Patrice Evra insists his pre-match attack on Arsenal was justified since Manchester United beat the Gunners on Monday night. French defender Evra labelled the north Londoners 'an academy team' and 'a load of rubbish' for failing to win a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup. Arsene Wenger's side led the Barclays Premier League before their trip to Old Trafford but surrendered top spot after Park Ji-sung scored the only goal of the game. Team effort: Evra (right) shut out Arsenal and Park (left) scored United's goal 'I think we confirmed what I'd said before the match. I think Arsenal played really well, you shouldn't neglect that, but we were better. I really say that without any arrogance,' said Evra. 'I heard people saying that what I said was below the belt, but that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to show how much I believe in my team, in their potential and strength. 'We know Arsenal and we know that if you don't let them breathe - which is what the coach said before the match - then it becomes hard for them, especially at Old Trafford. 'United always show up for the big games. Arsenal enjoyed a lot of possession but only had one chance. 'I think our victory was really deserved, it didn't boil down to small details. But people will have a go at me again for saying what I think.'  You're rubbish! Evra says Arsenal can't win title with kids as Wenger hits backBright Spark!
