Patrice Evra’s attempts to prove he was racially abused by Liverpool forward Luis Suárez rest on the Manchester United defender overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers to uphold his claims against the Uruguayan.
Suárez said last week: “There is no evidence I said anything racist to him [Evra]. I said nothing of the sort.
“There were two parts of the discussion, one in Spanish, one in English. I did not insult him. It was just a way of expressing myself. I called him something his team-mates at Manchester call him, and even they were surprised by his reaction.”
