Patrice Evra has taken to Twitter this afternoon and accused Liverpool fans of a lack of 'respect and class'.
Evra also shared a letter of apology from former Reds CEO Peter Moore - referring back to the controversial episode with Luis Suarez in 2011, which saw the Liverpool striker banned for eight matches after being found guilty of racist language towards the then-Manchester United defender.
At the time, Liverpool showed their support for Suarez in the incident by wearing t-shirts dedicated to him during the warm-up of a subsequent match - a move that many involved have since said they regret.
Peter Moore wrote to Evra in 2019 apologising for the club's response to the incident with Suarez, admitting that 'as a club, we failed to live up to our own high standards of inclusivity, equality and fairness when confronted by your serious but wholly justified allegations eight years ago'.
Ahead of this afternoon's game between Liverpool and Man United at Anfield, Evra shared the letter once more on social media, captioning it "I wish the Liverpool fans had the same respect and class as you Peter Moore."
It is unclear whether a specific incident prompted Evra to make the post or whether he was simply looking ahead to this afternoon's game.
Speaking last year, Evra said he had a newfound respect for Liverpool after receiving Moore's letter.
"It really touched me and now I will respect Liverpool as a football club because, when this happened, I was really disappointed with the club," Evra told UTD Podcast.
"I received an email from the chairman of Liverpool apologising for what happened nine years ago. He said I was welcome to come to Liverpool if I need anything.
"It really touched me because it’s better late than never. But I was surprised that Liverpool supported that kind of attitude.
"When you have those kinds of problems, people around you just think you are crying. Even when I said: ‘You will see the report’, people thought I was still talking about it.
"I wasn’t still talking about it - I even named Suarez Player of the Year that year. I could evaluate Suarez on the pitch and know the person he was. It was a tough, tough, tough time."
