Patrice Evra claims Bolton forward Kevin Davies deliberately set out to kick him in Man Utd's 1-0 defeat.
United full-back unhappy with Bolton forward's attitude
Patrice Evra is 'very angry' that Kevin Davies was not sent off and claims the Bolton Wanderers forward deliberately set out to kick him.
Bolton's first win under Gary Megson on Saturday was overshadowed by Manchester United's protestations about the home side's physical approach.
The focus of the first half, in particular, was a running a battle between Evra and Davies, who escaped with a yellow card for one challenge on the United full-back.
The France international was unhappy with Davies' style of play and claims it was a continuation from last season's meeting between the two clubs.
"It was the same last year when Davies kicked me as well," Evra told the Daily Express. "I said to him (in last year's game), 'Why do you do a tackle like that?' And he said, 'Because I don't like you'. I didn't understand it.
Big fight
"Today he did it again. His first tackle on me should have been a red card. I don't know why he does it. I just play my game. I don't know what the problem is with Davies because I don't know him.
"Last year he said, 'You can't take the ball because I don't like you'. It's bizarre. It was a big fight. But his first tackle deserved a red card and I was very angry.
"The captain and the other players said to me, 'You need to concentrate on the game, you must not react to a bad tackle like that'.
"I also spoke to the referee. I said, 'You can't play football like that - this is not a football game'.
"When I play football I do it to play the ball, not to kick somebody. It was a very hard game. I received more tackles in this game than I've had in my entire career.
"I could have been booked for a tackle on Davies, but if you look at the replay I did touch the ball first."
