Former Manchester United left back Patrice Evra did not hold back in his assessment of Arsenal and their players.

The United legend was on Sky Sports as a guest pundit, analysing the Gunners' clash against Sheffield United on Monday.

Arsenal lost the game 1-0 and put in a limp display against the newly promoted side.

Speaking about Arsenal and the game, Evra said: "First of all I'm really happy for Sheffield.

"They deserved the win but I'm not surprised by Arsenal and I told you that before the game, make sure they don't fall in the trap.

"I used to call them my babies 10 years ago and they're still, when I look at them, my babies and that's the truth.

"I'm not being disrespectful when I say that, it's just the feeling I got with this team.

"They look pretty, they look good but they don't look like a winning team. They're just here like playing good football.

"When I looked at Arsenal, I was so happy to play against Arsenal because I knew I was going to win.

"Even when Robin van Persie came and the first day I shake his hand and I said: 'Welcome to a man club'.

"At the beginning he was like upset but after one month he said 'you're completely right Patrice' and that's my feeling.

"[Matteo] Guendouzi is the best in midfield but he is a player who was playing in the second league in France and he was even not like playing regularly, and he's the best player on this team.

"I know some are fuming when they see [Granit] Xhaka is the captain of Arsenal.

'I respect them, like [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, [Alexandre] Lacazette, but you can see if those guys don't score goals, they are in trouble and nothing's changed.

"I am like 'where is Arsene? Where is Wenger?' because it's the same."
