Patrice Evra says that Manchester United’s victory over Turkish club Bursaspor in October was a monumental moment in the season.
The Red Devils got over Bursaspor 1-0 in an unconvincing performance in the Champions League group stage but it was the events prior to the game which really brought the squad together.
Wayne Rooney had announced that he wanted to leave the club, later rescinding those comments, but at the time Evra said it was a point where the champions really kicked into gear.
"The year twisted on that game against Bursaspor," he said.
"We won but everyone was criticising us. [But] for all the trouble that was around the club, I felt then the team was more of a unit.
"I just knew Man Utd were going to come together."
But besides that, Evra felt that United were always in control in the run-in to the title.
"Although we were dropping points I never felt anyone was better than us," he added.
"It was always our fault. Every time it was us making the mistake.
"I wasn't sure about Chelsea. They won their first two matches easily [6-0 against both West Brom and Wigan] and it led people to say they would win the title.
"I wanted to see what happened when they had their first real test. They got it at Man City, and they lost.
"After that I thought we would do well."
