Patrice Evra has sent an emotional message of gratitude to the departing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Manchester United sacked the manager, but had choice words for the players.
The news comes after a string of disappointing results that saw United slip down the table, with the heavy defeat to relegation-threatened Watford be the final nail in the Norwegian's managerial coffin.
Speculation surrounding his position has been rife with Brendan Rodgers, Zinedine Zidane and Erik ten Hag linked with the now-vacant role.
After the news, former United left-back Patrice Evra thanked Solskjaer for his time in charge posting on Instagram: "Thank you for making us believe in @ManUtd again my friend.
Before firing a warning to the squad: "Unfortunately when you don’t get the results people forget what you done for this club but to all the players I’m coming for you now. See you against Arsenal…
The sacking of Jose Mourinho paved the way for the former Molde manager to take temporary charge, eventually earning the gig on a full-time basis.
He last season led the Reds to a second-place finish in the Premier League and picked up a runners-up medal in the Europa League before bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho.
As a result, much of the summer talk surrounding United was whether they could challenge Manchester City at the top of the table again.
In the early stages, they did live up to their expectations with Ronaldo netting a double on his return to Old Trafford, but the mood changed after the first international break as results began to slip away. Just one win in two months has led to Solskjaer's dismissal.
