The Frenchman has a huge Instagram following of 5.1 million people, and is very popular among football fans.

He caused a stir yesterday by posting a thanksgiving video in which he behaves quite intimately with a raw chicken, with a lot of kissing, caressing and smacking.

In a new video today, Evra said: "YO, I made a video yesterday - it went crazy, it went wild!"
"It was just for thanksgiving, you know. Some people find it funny, some people find it weird, some people find it disgusting!

"We're all different, thank god. But come on, I'm not a gangster!

"I just cuddled, I just kissed the meat, that's it.

"Yeah I went too far when I sucked the toes of the chicken. It was a little bit nasty, nasty, but come on!

The defender also hit back at vegans who criticised him, saying he sees vegans in his garden eating the grass, flowers and trees - and that we need those too.
