The top-3 Premier League sides along with Everton are united with their respective cities to tackling racism in the country.
The joint-statement insists that there’s no room for racism in football after several United players were racially abused recently.
Discussing the need to erase racism from football, a statement from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority said: “Our four great North West clubs (Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Everton) are united with the Mayors of Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region, and both Greater Manchester Police and Merseyside Police.
“We condemn the racist abuse that too many players, officials and supporters continue to encounter, most recently on social media platforms.
“We stand shoulder to shoulder in saying there is no room for racism, hate or any form of discrimination in our beautiful game. It should not happen and it must stop.”
United had to deal with shocking racism against Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial after the loss to Sheffield United, before Marcus Rashford was also abused after the draw to Arsenal.
