Evra: One At A Time

A decade ago, United became the first (and only) side to win the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League.

And while the Reds are in a position to repeat the feat this term – oh, and you can throw in the Carling Cup and FIFA Club World Cup for good measure – Patrice Evra insists none of the players are getting carried away.

"We're not thinking about winning five trophies," he told MUTV after United booked a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals after a scintillating 4-0 win over Fulham. "None of the players are talking about this – it's just the media."

The key, Evra says, to success on multiple fronts is taking each game as it comes, even if bigger tests lie just around the corner.

"When you're on the pitch the game in which you are playing is always the most important – not the next one .

"You could see against Fulham that everybody was hungry to win the game. It was more important than Wednesday's match against Inter.

"We have to concentrate on every game and when you pull on the Manchester United shirt you have to give your best. That's the spirit of Manchester United and with that spirit we can go far and reach the end of our
mission."


At Fulham on Saturday, Carlos Tevez produced a man-of-the-match performance. He scored twice in the first half, including a 25-yard scorcher that fizzed into the top corner.

"I'm very happy for Carlos," Patrice said. "He doesn't play every game but whenever the boss picks him he performs so well.

"He's different class, an unbelievable player. He deserved to score two goals and now Sir Alex will have a small problem when he chooses the team to play Inter."
