Everybody on the pitch should be ashamed’ slams Dimitar Berbatov live on Sky Sports in rant after Man Utd clash
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Dimitar Berbatov blasted their 0-0 draw at Aston Villa live on Sky Sports - claiming Jonny Evans shamed every other player.
Evans, 36, and Harry Maguire started ahead of Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez at centre-back as United tried to cure their leaky defending.
And although the rearguard was robust, the display was dull - leaving the Red Devils with just eight points from seven Premier League games.
Maguire had to be taken off injured at half-time, but Evans continue to tower over his team-mates.
Not only did the Northern Irishman keep Ollie Watkins quiet, he was just as secure when Villa super-sub Jhon Duran came on for the final half-hour to form a two-man home attack.
Nonetheless, ex-Tottenham striker Berbatov, who was at United from 2008-2012, was stunned by his old team's all-round plight.

The Bulgarian told Sky: "I mean I'm trying to find the right words here.
"Everybody on the pitch today should be ashamed because Jonny Evans, credit to him, he's 36-37, is man of the match.
"Everybody younger than him should take notice and just, I don't know, just do better."
But United keeper Andre Onana had little of note to do, except for tipping over a Youri Tielemans thunderbolt.
In contrast Bruno Fernandes hit the Villa bar with a free-kick, while home stopper Emi Martinez foiled Marcus Rashford twice and sub Antony.
Red Devils' boss Erik ten Hag said: "I think the performance of United was very good.

"Defending and in possession we controlled the game.
"It was in the balance. We created chances but not loads. Also Villa didn't create too many chances.
"This is our fourth clean sheet. This tells you we are in a good direction.
"Now also we improve defending counter attacks, and we improve controlling possession. But also we have to improve in the final third."
