PATRICE EVRA has delighted fans by teasing former Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes over his appearance in Soccer Aid.
The ex-left back is notorious for his eccentric humour on social media, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ashley Young among his recent targets.
Evra, 40, has also posted numerous bizarre videos which include kissing a chimpanzee to ironing along to Barry White.
He even poked fun at Oasis’ Liam Gallagher after the singer’s beloved City were beaten in the Champions League final by Chelsea.
Evra has now taken aim at Scholes – who he played alongside at Old Trafford from his arrival in 2006 to the latter’s second retirement in 2013.
The two will line up against each other for Soccer Aid, with France icon Evra part of the World XI with Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt.
Former Oldham manager Scholes, 46, shared an image on Instagram of himself in an England kit alongside Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney.
He wrote: “Can’t wait to play for @england with my mates @gneville2 and @waynerooney at this years @socceraid… Let’s bring it home.”
And without missing a beat, Evra jokingly replied: “wooooo! England really want to win this year”, alongside several crying with laughter emojis.
Another of Scholes’ ex-teammates Nicky Butt also commented, as he said: “Not many off the ball runs in you 3!!!!!
SunSport reported last month that retired midfielder Scholes will make his playing comeback in the 2021 edition of Soccer Aid.
The popular charity match is set to take place on Saturday, September 4 in front of what could be a full house at Man City’s Etihad Stadium.
Jamie Redknapp, Fara Williams, David James, Ashley Cole, Kelly Smith and Emile Heskey are among the other star names for the home team.
