Patrice Evra leaves Gabby Logan and panellists in stitches with cheeky comment after Man Utd’s thriller vs Aston Villa
PATRICE EVRA had Gabby Logan and his fellow panellists in stitches after a cheeky comment following Manchester United’s win last night.
The Red Devils came from 2-0 down at half-time to triumph 3-2 with a brilliant second half performance.
United went behind after Aston Villa's never-seen-before free-kick tactic.
Then it got even worse as Leander Dendoncker doubled the visitors' lead just five minutes later.
United legend Evra was covering the game for Amazon Prime Video and he was widely-mocked at half-time for stating that he was “happy” with his old team's performance.
However, he was the one laughing at full-time after Alejandro Garnacho grabbed a double while Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal sealed the points late on.
There were more smiles after the whistle as Evra, Eni Aluko and Roberto Martinez assessed the performance on the side of the Old Trafford pitch.
Host Logan asked: “We must also pay homage to the rearguard action of United as well. There were some big moments there.”
Evra burst into laughter as he responded: “Which rearguard action?”
That led to sniggers from his colleagues while Logan looked visibly embarrassed, while Evra then continued: “When I’m with Gabby, she’s too posh. She speaks English, I’m French.”

Logan then spoke about commentator Jon Champion using the word “condemnatory” - to which led to more baffled looks from the fun-loving Frenchman.
“Condem what?,” he asked in bewilderment.
That led to ever-professional Logan soon realising that it would be best to move on with the show to avoid any further red-faces while Aluko and Martinez struggled to hide their smirks.
Fan-favourite Evra, 42, arrived at United from Monaco in 2006 and he went on to win a host of honours under Sir Alex Ferguson.
He lifted the Premier League title five times during his eight years at Old Trafford as well as the Champions League in 2008.
He went on to have spells at Juventus, Marseille and West Ham before hanging up his boots in 2018 and going into the punditry world.
