Patrice Evra made a pitfall in front of Liverpool fans for lack of “class and respect”, while the former Manchester United shared a letter from the Merseyside club apologizing for the 2011 Luis Suarez incident.
The Uruguayan striker was banned for eight games and fined £ 40,000 for using the word “negrito” against Evra during a Premier League match between Liverpool and United at Anfield in 2011.
But immediately after Evra made the allegations against Suarez, Liverpool defended their player and even wore T-shirts in support of the striker before a league match against Wigan in 2012.

When Suarez returned from the ban later in the season, he turned down Evra’s offer to shake hands with captain Manchester United in the return match at Old Trafford in 2012.
Along with the image of a 2019 apology letter from Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore, Evra hit Liverpool fans who abused her in the years following the incident.
Evra wrote the title of the letter before Manchester United’s Premier League match with Liverpool on Sunday: “I would like Liverpool fans to have the same respect and class as you Peter Moore.”
This is the first time Evra has shared the letter from Liverpool, which discussed “collective regret” in support of Suarez after the Football Association banned him for racist abuse.

The French defender spoke about the Suarez incident during an episode of Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football in October 2019 and Moore felt compelled to write to Evra after hearing his ordeal.
The letter read: “The reason for my correspondence is both simple and necessary, we apologize. We failed to apologize long before and this is a mistake for which we must take responsibility.
“As a club, we have failed to rise to our own high standards of inclusiveness, equality and fairness when faced with your serious but fully justified allegations eight years ago. This is a matter of collective regret.

Liverpool wore shirts in support of Suarez later that year after Evra accused him of racism.
“I hope that subsequent events have shown that I have learned lessons from that period. Although these lessons were painful, they were also absolutely necessary and I want to assure you that we will continue to consider them in the future.
Evra revealed in January 2020 that Moore and Liverpool apologized for the whole scandal following his 2019 appearance in football on Monday night.
Moreover, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher and current club captain Jordan Henderson – both playing for Merseyside at the time – have revealed that the Reds have made a mistake in Suarez’s public support and apologized. .
Speaking to Sky Sports, Evra said: “I was glad that Jamie Carragher apologized. I received a personalized letter from Peter Moore and I was very excited about it.

‘(He sent the letter) three days after the show. He said, “Thank you very much, it really touches my heart.”
“But I was very disappointed for such a long time by a big club like Liverpool that supports a cause like this.”
The FA has given Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani a three-match ban after using the same racial term on social media to a friend, despite the Uruguayan’s insistence that it was a friendly.
Suarez joined the Uruguayan FA in condemning the English FA for granting Cavani the ban, which they described as a “discriminatory act”.
Liverpool host Manchester United in a top match on Sunday, the latter being three points ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League champions.
