Evra Report Due

  • 8 May 2008

Manchester United are set to submit today a report over their players' clash with Chelsea groundstaff.

The Daily Mail says United are adamant their allegations of racism by Chelsea groundsman Sam Bethell towards their defender Patrice Evra at Stamford Bridge 12 days ago should be fully investigated, providing a tense backdrop to Sunday's title climax.

With United and Chelsea locked on the same number of points ahead of the final day of the League season and due to meet in the Champions League Final in Moscow on May 21, the clubs will be in each other's faces for the coming fortnight.

United claim Bethell made a racist comment to Frenchman Evra after the two men traded blows in the wake of Chelsea's 2-1 Premier League victory over the champions on April 26. After a week or so of United lawyer Maurice Watkins interviewing staff and players, United have submitted their version of events and are prepared to stand before an FA inquiry if the issue goes that far.
