The Manchester United defender reckons Tev lacks any respect after he was pictured holding up a banner mocking Alex Ferguson.
City striker Tevez is still refusing to apologise for carrying a fans’ placard saying ‘RIP Fergie’ during Monday’s open-top bus parade to celebrate their Premier League triumph.
Evra rapped: “I was very surprised by Tevez’s attitude against Sir Alex Ferguson.
“I’m not sure how the manager feels about it but I’m sure he won’t be impressed.
“It’s disrespectful. Tevez spent two years at this club and was treated extremely well by the manager so I don’t really understand his reaction or the truth about the situation.”
Tevez, 28, was still unrepentant when he landed in South America for a summer break later in the week.
City did issue a statement offering its “sincerest apologies” and admitting their former skipper had made a “significant error of judgment.”
But Evra reckons United’s rivals were equally guilty of bad taste when they put up a massive poster of Tevez with the message ‘Welcome to Manchester’ when the striker swapped clubs in 2009.
The French full-back, 31, added: “The poster was in very bad taste, no one from Manchester United appreciated it.
“Tevez is an adult, he plays for another club and is responsible for his own actions.
“It’s a shame because he was always respected at Manchester United and remained in contact with some of the players.
“But I have no idea what will happen now.”
Evra is still trying to get over his own heartache of losing the title to City last Sunday. But he insists United will emerge far stronger for the experience.
He added: “It left a bad taste because we lost the title in the last minutes of the final game.
“But this will make us stronger and more determined to reclaim the title next season.
“City will probably argue that they won both derby games and so deserve to be champions. But over the course of the campaign there wasn’t a great deal of difference between the two sides.
“A season without a title for Manchester United is extremely rare so we have to use this as a positive next season.”
