Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has again criticized former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott for comparing the 2008 Manchester United team to the current Arsenal side that is competing for the title.
In January, Walcott caused some excitement among Manchester United fans by asking Wayne Rooney before Arsenal’s Champions League match against Inter Milan if the 2008 Manchester United team could keep up with Mikel Arteta’s 2025/26 Arsenal squad.
Rooney did not hold back in his reply, saying his unstoppable United team of 2008 would ‘batter’ the current Gunners squad.
Evra, however, was even more direct when first asked about his thoughts on Walcott’s interaction with Rooney.
The ex-defender said Walcott was drunk when he tried to compare both teams and told him to stop commenting as a pundit.
During a recent conversation with former United teammates Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs, Ferdinand mentioned Walcott’s comments.
In response, Evra joked about leaving the show and said, “That’s the problem with Arsenal. Now he’s (Walcott) comparing this team to our 2008 team.
“I believe he is a threat to society. He should not be in the TV. Like comparing… No, he’s dangerous for the kids. That’s why I keep saying they are delusional.”
The Frenchman remembered one of his old videos where he strongly criticized the Gunners, saying their title race was like a Netflix show.
“And I know I speak from the heart, but they are acting on false beliefs,” he continued. “This is disrespect. He should never be on TV again if he starts asking questions like that.”
