Patrice Evra has blasted his former teammate, Jerome Rothen after he was slammed for celebrating Manchester United’s Champions League victory over PSG, a club in his own country.
He said, “Next time I see you, I’m going to slap you in the face.”
The former United defender danced and chanted with current star, Paul Pogba after Marcus Rashford netted the late penalty that sealed the English giant’s passage of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
After Jerome accused Patrice of lacking respect, he shared a clip on Instagram and said: “I was told Jerome said some nasty things about me. I didn’t believe it but then I was shown the video. Your reward, next time I see you, I’m going to slap you in the face.”
“These aren’t empty threats. You know we’ll see each other eventually. You were always a salty p—k. I remember when L’Equipe gave you a rating of five and our other teammates got seven, since you were paranoid of the ratings, you would call the journalist and ask: ‘Why didn’t you give me a seven?’
“Piece of s—. Stop telling bulls—, stop telling lies. Be careful, because we will cross roads eventually. I am sure we will.”
Jerome had said, “Go celebrate in the United dressing room. Respect the people in the stadium, don’t jump with joy and disrespect the people who pay to go to these games.
“F—ing hell, you can’t do that.”
Evra and Jerome Rothen played in Monaco from 2002-04.
