The United defender was targeted with vile racist abuse after Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat in Barcelona by Twitter accounts that appeared to be managed by supporters of the Premier League club

“Again, we’re left asking @TwitterUK the same question - when will you take serious action to tackle the rampant discrimination on your platform?”Young started the second leg in Barcelona at left-back in the absence of the suspended Luke Shaw and found himself targeted by Lionel Messi, who prospered from United’s defensive troubles by scoring twice in the first half.
