Seal of approval

Patrice Evra sends online followers into frenzy after he lets a massive seal rest on his head like a best friend

The former United left-back entertains his 2.7m Instagram followers with another hilarious video

PATRICE EVRA is renowned for his online entertainment, but this Instagram video might just be the most peculiar yet.

The 36-year-old Frenchman is sitting down on a wooden bench, when a massive seal decides to take a rest... on his head.

The former Manchester United defender can be heard roaring his catchphrase, "I love this game" before the sea creature decides to join him.


NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?


Evra sounds shocked and nervously yelps: "Oh oh oh, what are you doing? Really?"

Aside from his initially fearful facial expression, the 36-year-old appears to quickly enjoy life with the enormous mammal - which can weigh up to 170kg - resting on his head.

Evra regularly uploads entertaining videos and pictures to his Instagram page, which has a whopping 2.7m followers.

The Frenchman is best known online for his passion for Mondays.

At the start of each week the Marseille defender will post a video in the hope that his electric energy on a glum Monday morning will be contagious.

Evra's top videos have included his brilliant tribute to pal Wayne Rooney, a clip of him kissing a chimpanzee and a sublime rendition of Otis Redding's classic Stand by me.

When he's not uploading infectiously energetic videos online, the Frenchman can be found on the field for the Ligue 1 side who will this season be going up against the might of Neymar and Paris Saint-Germain.

The 36-year-old is evidently content with life in the French top flight, after joining on a free transfer from Juventus in January.
