Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has been convicted after posting homophobic abuse on his social media accounts.

The 41-year-old was charged by a Parisian court earlier today in relation to a video he posted to his social media accounts following Manchester United's 3-1 victory against Paris Saint Germain in 2019.

The x-rated video shows Evra directing homophobic slurs towards the Ligue 1 outfit, brandishing the club as "f*****s" and "p****s".

As per The DailyMail, the Frenchman has been fined €1,000 for publication of the video, whilst he has also been ordered to pay €2,000 in compensation to two anti-hate campaign groups - Mousse and Stop Homophobia - who raised awareness of the video when it was published following the UEFA Champions League clash.

The 39-second rant - which was posted to Evra's Snapchat account - shows the fired-up Frenchman hurling abuse aimed at PSG, indicating that his former club was more macho than their opponents before before proceeding to direct homophobic slurs at the club:

"Draman, here it's Manchester Draman. Stop tripping and supporting teams that will never win

"Even my cousin here is mad. He knows, Paris you're f****ts! You're f****ts!

"Say it! It's real men talking here! We put out the D team, the D team and we did you.

"It was kids playing, they're the ones who cleaned my shoes.

"They don';t even have sperm yet and you are there Paris... rolling out the red carpet.

The case was brought to the court after being classified as a 'non-public insult' and they have now sentenced Evra for his actions.

It was ruled by the judge that the 41-year-old had 'expressed himself in a private setting for the making of a video which was later posted on Snapchat without his knowledge.'

A statement released by the complainants lawyer read as follows:

'The homophobic remarks of a personality like Patrice Evra fuel hatred and violence against LGBT people, in particular in countries where homosexuality is criminally repressed, like in Senegal, the country where Patrice Evra comes from'.

Evra - who has previously declared that there are "at least two gay players at every football club" - was not in attendance for the hearing.
