Patrice Evra’s incredible half-time prediction comes true after Man United legend backed his old side to come back and beat Aston Villa 3-2
Many eyebrows were raised when Patrice Evra suggested Man United could come from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 at half-time, but the Red Devils legend must have been feeling rather smug after the match .
It looked to be another miserable evening for Erik ten Hag's men when John McGinn and Leander Dendocker scored for the Villains midway through the first half on Tuesday evening.
United were outplayed and even the most hopeful supporters could not have imagined that they would come away from the match with three points.
However, Evra had hope during the hiatus on Amazon Prime.

Patrice Evra predicted that Man United could come back from 2-0 down and beat Aston Villa
He said: 'If United play the same way and put more focus on set pieces, I won't be surprised if United can overcome and win this game 3-2.'
And that's exactly what happened when Alejandro Garnacho scored a goal before Rasmus Hojlund scored the winner.
The £72m striker's first Premier League goal came from a corner, completing Evra's perfect prediction.

Evra seemed proud of himself after the match, reflecting: 'I was the only crazy man who said that if United played with the same determination, we would score three goals and win this match.'
United's dramatic victory leaves them five points behind fifth-placed Tottenham, who have played one match less.
