'My crazy defender' - fans react to ex-Man United ace Patrice Evra's bizarre Christmas video

Patrice Evra provided his own unique brand of festive cheer on Christmas Day as he had his followers in stitches after his latest social media video.

Taking to Instagram on Christmas morning, Evra posted a video of himself enjoying sunnier climes, by the sea, dressed as Santa riding on top of Rudolph. As the camera moves out, the 41-year-old stands up and starts dancing wildly, repeating his signature catchphrase: "I love this game."

Not one to be shy, Evra decided to go one step further with his crazy Christmas celebration. Stepping between the ropes which stop people from falling into the sea, the Frenchman jumped into the water, continuing to laugh and enjoy himself while doing so.

We have come to expect mad stunts on social media from Evra over the years. His most famous video saw him lick and kiss a raw chicken, a bizarre move considering the health risks associated with doing so.

But this latest clip has brightened many of his fans' Christmas Day and plenty were quick to send messages to Evra. Here is a selection of the Instagram comments:

mr_royal101 - The happiest man on earth!

toysley - Evra is just a vibe! Merry Christmas

don_sware2 - The vibe and the energy. I love this game!

phineaskipkoech - My crazy defender, I loved when I used to see you at Old Trafford

purplemoji - Definitely my sort of Christmas!

Evra, of course, remains closely attached to United and works as a pundit now that he has retired from professional football. Recently, he explained that the Reds players now have a point to prove at Old Trafford following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

United return to Premier League action on Tuesday when they host Nottingham Forest.
