Dimitar Berbatov was left fuming with the performance of Man United players in their 0-0 draw against Aston Villa.

Speaking after the game, he ranted: “Everybody on the pitch should be ashamed because Jonny Evans is man of the match at 36.

“The criticism will continue to grow, because United need to win to get the points. They are 14th in the table which is unbelievable.

“The only thing to correct it is to get the points buy with the way they’re playing at the moment that’s going to be hard to do.”

Berbatov has a point because Evans looked like the player who was most determined to get a win and showed that with his passionate defending.

After the match, experts gave much praise to the Red Devils’ central defender Jonny Evans when the 36-year-old star delivered a solid performance, making the path to Andre Onana’s goal more difficult.

According to statistics from Sofa Score, he had 3 clearances and 4 tackles. Notably, he won 11/12 duels and all the aerial duels (5/5)

In the ball circulation phase, Evans had 36/42 passes. Although he is 36 years old, the former Leicester City player still brings value to the Red Devils’ playing style.

The Red Devils have only five points from seven games in the 2024–25 season and have not scored a goal in their past three Premier League games.
