Manchester United midfielder Fred has been racially abused on social media after the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Leicester City.
The Brazilian received racial abuses on Instagram after his error had led to the Foxes first goal as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the King Power Stadium.
Fred’s back-pass to goalkeeper Dean Henderson was intercepted by Kelechi Iheanacho, who took full advantage to open the scoring after 24 minutes.
It is just the latest in a series of abuse directed at Manchester United players this season after Anthony Martial was racially abused on social media after the 1-1 draw away to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on February 14.
After the game, the France international was subjected to abuse on his Instagram account, with a number of users posting racist messages and symbols on his photos.
It comes after Martial, along with team-mate Axel Tuanzebe, was abused after the team’s loss to Sheffield United on January 27, while Marcus Rashford also posted a statement about comments directed at him in late January.
