Former "Manchester United" defender Patrice Evra received racist abuse in 2011 from the then "Liverpool" player Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan received an eight-match ban at that time, while P. Evra received death threats. The Frenchman, participating in a "Manchester United" podcast, revealed that the club received numerous threatening letters from inmates after the incident, threatening not only Evra but also his family. "Because of me, 'Manchester United' at that time received a lot of threatening letters. People wrote that they were in prison and supported 'Liverpool', so when they are released, they will kill both me and my family. For two months, I was accompanied by security everywhere, even sleeping in front of my house. It was a quite difficult time, but I was not afraid. However, my wife and family felt a huge fear. I could not understand why people hated me so much. They did not know the whole truth," Evra said. The defender also revealed that the "Liverpool" club officials recently apologized to him for the incident. "I recently received an email from the 'Liverpool' manager apologizing for the incident that happened almost nine years ago," added P. Evra.
