PATRICE EVRA says Manchester United must win the Premier League to save their season.The Red Devils have been dumped out of all cup competitions following last night's Europa League exit to Athletic Bilbao.
Alex Ferguson's men are top of the league but with rivals Manchester City just a point behind, the title race is set to go the distance.
Evra said: "A big club like Manchester United should be able to compete in every competition. But now we have no choice, we have to focus on the league.
"We have to win the league to save our season. If we don't win the league, it will have been a really bad season.
"I'm not worried about the league because we are playing well and now we are top, in front of Manchester City."
The French star struggled to explain United's dismal European campaign this year.
He said: "We didn't start well in Europe this year — maybe we were too confident at the beginning of the Champions League — and this is the end now.
"We are out again and we have to be honest with ourselves, we don't deserve to be in the Champions League or the Europa League.
"We haven't played in Europe this season with the same desire that we have in the league.
"We can see the difference in the league — we are top, and we are more focused on the league, we have to tell the truth.
"I don't know why that is. If I knew the answer, it wouldn't have happened. But it's a bad year in Europe for Manchester United. That's it."
