PATRICE EVRA had viewers in stitches when he checked to see what Graeme Souness was drinking during a rant on VAR.
The ex-Manchester United defender was in the Sky Sports studio to watch his former club crash to a 2-0 defeat at runaway leaders Liverpool.

The game didn’t go without VAR controversy when the hosts had a goal disallowed when Virgil van Dijk was adjudged to have fouled David de Gea.
United’s No1 spilled the ball and it was eventually fired home by Roberto Firmino although the foul appeared extremely soft.
The incident was debated in the studio at half-time and it’s fair to say the pair were at loggerheads over the decision.
Evra initially said: “It’s a foul. With his head he’s touching De Gea’s arm.”
But Souness fired back: “If your starting position is that a goalkeeper cannot be touched, then that is a foul. But that is not the rule, he has gone for it as fairly as he could.
“Under no circumstances is that a foul, under no circumstances.
“They talk about VAR as some sort of magnificent computer that’s perfect in every way, it’s human error and they don’t know what they’re doing.
“That’s the bottom line, they don’t know what they’re doing, ask a football person, it’s laughable.”
Evra, almost in disbelief at what he was hearing, hilariously reacted by picking up Souness’ glass of water and appeared to check what he was drinking.
The clip was uploaded to Twitter and it appeared the majority of viewers agreed with Souness.
One said: “Evra needs a reality check to being so biased as a pundit. He needs to learn to be neutral.”
Another added: “Evra lost that argument comprehensively. Keane and Souness saw to that.”
