Man Utd issue ban over Liverpool racist abuse

Manchester United have indefinitely banned a supporter who racially abused Trent Alexander-Arnold.

A fan was ejected from the home end during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Sunday for alleged racist remarks towards Alexander-Arnold.

The defender’s appearance against the Red Devils came just six days after he was part of an England side which suffered widespread racist abuse in Bulgaria.

Unifted confirmed on Tuesday that they had carried out an investigation into last weekend’s incident and subsequently barred the individual from future matches.

A spokesperson said: “Racism and all forms of discrimination are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the values of our club.

“Following our investigation into the alleged incidence of racist abuse on Sunday, we have issued an indefinite ban to the individual involved.

“This individual is not welcome at Old Trafford and we want to reinforce that we will continue to take strong action against anyone who we identify has engaged in racist or discriminatory abuse, either online or at our matches.”
