Evra blasts Carragher over 'hate' of Man Utd star Ronaldo: Stay in your lane!

Manchester United Champions League winner Patrice Evra has taken aim at Jamie Carragher over criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo.

After Ronaldo struck twice in the victory against Arsenal - including the winner from the penalty spot - Evra called out Carragher's "hate" for Ronaldo.

He said: "There's lot of talk about this player and I really don't understand it. Some player like Jamie Carragher he had 775 games, today Cristiano scored 801 goals. And those kind of people talk about Cristiano.

"Sometimes I just think people have to stay in their lane and I don't understand that hate. Sometimes people wake up and want to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo."

Alan Shearer also said: "You have to put that into perspective, by the way. 801 goals. 801! Bonkers. We (Henry and I) might have reached that landmark if we had our training goals!"
