Manchester United vs Arsenal: Patrice Evra taunts Gunners by claiming he misses playing against them
French defender posts posting a clip of him scoring against Arsene Wenger's side in 2-1 win at Old Trafford in 2012
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Patrice Evra has taunted Arsenal by claiming he missing playing against them.
And the French defender hammered home his point by posting a clip of him scoring against the Gunners on Instagram.
That strike was the opener in United’s 2-1 win at Old Trafford in 2012 - in one the left-back’s many victories over the Red Devils’ bitter rivals.

Evra, 35, wrote: “I miss and I love playing vs Arsenal!!! I love this game haahahahahaha. Bonne chance Manchester United.”
The Juventus star won five Premier League titles in eight seasons at Old Trafford between 2006 and 2014.
Arsenal won just one FA Cup in that time, during Evra’s final season in English football.
The two go head-to-head on Saturday in Manchester in a must-win clash for United.
Jose Mourinho’s side have struggled for consistency this season and currently sit six points and two places behind Arsenal in sixth.
The Gunners would briefly leapfrog leaders Liverpool with a win in the lunch-time blockbuster.
Evra left United for Italy when former boss Louis van Gaal splashed £33million on replacement Luke Shaw.
Mourinho attacked the England full-back prior to the international break, claiming he was not willing to play through the pain barrier for the club.
But on Friday he insisted he has no issue with Shaw – and revealed the former Southampton kid could return for Saturday’s clash.
He said: “Luke Shaw is doing well. We were in a period with a very small group and he’s ready to play and I don’t have any problem with him.
“I’m not saying he plays or not but he’s my player, one with potential. He has little problems like any young player.
“He has my confidence and playing five matches in three weeks, for sure he’s going to play.”
Evra last month dressed up as a panda and danced against racism in another bizarre Instagram post.
