Manchester United great Patrice Evra trolls Liverpool FC on Instagram

Manchester United great Patrice Evra congratulated Liverpool on winning the Premier League title, but he couldn't help throwing a dig their way in the process.

Liverpool lifted the Premier League title for the first time in their history on Wednesday following their 5-3 victory over Chelsea, ending a 30-year wait to be crowned champions of England.

Evra has become renowned in recent years for the bizarre video clips he posts on Instagram and this one was no different as he congratulated Jurgen Klopp's side, but avoided the risk of drawing the ire from United fans by joking about their lengthy wait for a title as well.

The short clip begins with Evra casually driving a sports car forward a few feet, revealing a United flag hanging off the back of the vehicle. The Frenchman then approaches the camera and divulges his plan to jump onto the roof of a second parked car, which he smoothly accomplishes.

After saying his catchphrase "I love this game!" while stood on the roof he then jumped down and congratulated Liverpool on their historic triumph.

"I would like to congratulate all the Liverpool players, the club, the staff, the manager," he said, but then couldn't help poking fun at United's rivals.

He continued: "But guys, it's about time, last time you won it I was nine years old! nine years old! I was begging in front of shop for money to buy a sandwich cold kebab! So don't be jealous! I just want to share!"

Evra then ended the video by kissing the United flag draped over the back of his car.
