Patrice Evra reveals heartbreaking reason why he cannot attend Manchester United vs Tottenham Europa League final

Patrice Evra revealed that he could not attend the final of the Europa League of Manchester United vs Tottenham on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Frenchman will go to Paris to attend the funeral of his sister.

By putting on social networks, Evra said that he planned to go to Bilbao for the final on Wednesday evening. He said that his sister was 56 years old and he was fighting for cancer for 20 years before his death. He said:

“Hi guys, I had to come to Bilbao tomorrow for the final in person to show you support and share my positive energy. But unfortunately, I have to go to Paris for my sister’s funeral on the same day of the final. She was 56 years old, fighting cancer for 20 years. Resilience, fight.”

He sent a message to Manchester United players and said:

“This is what I want from you guys tomorrow. Beat. Build yourself for this shirt. For the fan, for the staff, for the people of Manchester. For fans around the world. There is no excuse. This is your duty tomorrow.”

Manchester United is undefeated in the Europa League this season and has done better than in the Premier League (16th). Tottenham is not undefeated but was worse than the Red Devils of the League this season (17th).

Manchester United players have said to do everything for the qualification of the Champions League

Patrice Evra wants Manchester United players to win the Europa League final because it guarantees them a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. He added that they had to bleed for the players and have said via Talksport:

“We are Man United. Do you know how many fans will travel around the world and believe that they know that they will celebrate after the match, because they believe in you, whatever happens? Because we can do it, we can do it, guys.”

“As I said, bleed for this shirt. Think of your family. There is no way other than winning. Do not be selfish. It is a qualification in the Champions League. We are preparing the future for next year. So guys, I will be far away. I count on you. Come on, let’s do that!”

Manchester United has not beaten Tottenham since October 2022 in all competitions. They have lost four times and shot twice against the Spurs since their last victory against the London team.
