Manchester United hero Patrice Evra has apologised to PSG for his rants against the French giants.

Evra used a French word that is derogatory to homosexuals in a video on social media in which he taunted PSG over their Champions League defeat by his former club.

"I am not homophobic," said Evra, 37.

"If I offend someone or I hurt someone I really apologise, but you know it's not my intention."

In his social media post on Tuesday, the former France left-back says he made the video "as a joke", adding the French media had taken his use of the derogatory term to mean he is "against gay people".

"They are just trying to put me down. Only God can judge me," Evra said.
