Marseille player Patrice Evra was sent off after kicking one of his team's fans in the head before the Europa League defeat at Vitoria Guimaraes.

Footage shows the 36-year-old former Manchester United defender aiming an acrobatic kick at a supporter at the side of the pitch during the warm-up.

Evra, who was named as a substitute, was dismissed before kick-off, and Marseille started with 11 players.

Governing body Uefa has charged Evra with violent conduct.

The full-back has been suspended for "at least one game", with Uefa's disciplinary body to decide the case on 10 November.

Marseille have also been charged with a field invasion by fans, setting off of fireworks and "acts of damages".

French newspaper L'Equipe reported Marseille supporters had been jeering Evra for about half an hour while the players prepared for the game, which the French side lost 1-0.

The player had gone over to the fans to talk to them, but the situation escalated.

French football journalist Julien Laurens said Evra - who regularly posts light-hearted videos on social media - was insulted and also told: "Keep doing your videos, but stop playing football."

Marseille begin investigation

Marseille said on Friday that they had begun an investigation into the incident.

"No matter what happens, a professional player must maintain self-control despite provocations and insults, no matter how unjustified they may be," the club said in a statement.

Marseille coach Rudi Garcia said after the match: "Pat has experience, and he must not react, it's obvious.

"Patrice is a more than just an experienced player. You can't respond, of course, to insults as bad as they are and as incredible as they might be because they come from one of our supporters.

"He must learn to keep his cool. That's all I can say."

Garcia also criticised the fan, saying: "He's not a supporter of Marseille, because you can't insult your own players, you have to be behind all of us."

Evra, who won five Premier League titles and the Champions League during eight years at Manchester United, joined Marseille from Juventus in January but has made only two appearances this season.

Thursday's incident evoked memories of Eric Cantona's infamous "kung-fu kick" during Manchester United's game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in January 1995.

The Frenchman was banned for nine months by the Football Association for the incident, which took place as he left the pitch after being sent off.
