Former Juventus and Manchester United defender Patrice Evra defended Neymar in light of his rumoured move to Barcelona.

The Frenchman spoke after the UEFA Champions League group stage draw that took place in Monaco on Thursday.

“I think a lot of people do not like Neymar. The problem is when you really be yourself in this world, people hate you, and when you are pretending, people love you,” Evra explained.

“When you arrive, you are the king of the world, but when you leave it is like Neymar killed somebody,” he added.
