Disgusting and cowardly!

You can't blame the fans sometimes they angry that's the result of frustration...

Sadly social media is an open sesame for abuse...individuals are hiding behind a screen

If I was black I would laugh at the racists & tell them am proud but no they act like snowflakes instead & run to the papers

where abouts is this 'racial' abuse. what do they say that is 'racial' i haven't seen any. no, i'm not saying it's not out there, they're the idiots, always have been, but if we're talking disgruntled fans well, that is not to be misconstrued as abuse is it? a pissed off fan!

This is what I hate about twitter, some morons who think they can say what they like hiding behind their phones.

It’s about time football fans stood together and kicked racism out of our beloved sport, but not just fans, unfortunately some players are as bad, Sorry but I’ll always remember John Terry for that.

It’s bad, but people saying you need to ID verify a twitter account are dumb

if want to know how really racist the uk is.just listen carefully how the uk claim 'other countries are racist'.they use their media to force you to focus on claims of other countries racism.whilst ignoring and covering up its own real and most insidious racism

Not cool. Not cool at all.

The club may need to take control of the situation and have Twitter create player profile sites and personal profiles. Then at least the players can control who they accept as friends and the club can vet comments made to their players. If Twitter won't do it, United should.

Idiots I won't elaborate forward, footballers irrespective of skin colour or race are based on ability. I'm a Liverpool fan and think Rashford is top quality

go journalism in the real world. twitter is cancer.

This is disgusting!

They are always active on social platforms. It's just a penalty,not their absurd excuse.

That’s so sad for my fa team

Good one Ole, just like remainers claim that Russian bots are behind Brexit

ManUtd & SolskjaerMind are probably right in their claims of the racial abuse but to use to defend the shite of £25M worth of so called talent what should be sitting in a pub team than claiming to be professionals is a joke ? MAN U fan by way

Yeah but score a penalty already

Wonder if xenophobia is a mental condition?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hiding behind his player profile and stealing a living with Mike Phelan!

Haven't seen the tweets, I take it the BBC know the race of the abusers.

He's not wrong. On line racists and bullies of every ilk are cowards hiding behind fake profiles looking to cause maximum distress to their victims..

Abused by words…

No way am I saying it’s acceptable, but I think it should be ignored, these people aren’t worth the webspace. There always be assholes

Yawn.

Racist card being played every week

Always an excuse for a defeat, it was never a penalty

Pell is in jail where he belongs, and culture warriors let fly their rage at the fall of their creature | First Dog on the MoonAs ever, the perpetrator is the victim and the victim is the perpetrator Hopefully Prince Andrew will be convicted very soon too. This article seems to reflect the bias the court is accused of. The verdict was questioned because there was no evidence produced and the victim's evidence seemed improbable. Pedophiles should be jailed no matter their social status but court proceedings should be clearly fair. The cartoonist is himself the most rabid of the culture warriors.
