The police are investigating the disgusting racial abuse that has been recently aimed at Anthony Elanga on social media.
The young striker missed a decisive penalty in Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth round defeat against Middlesbrough on Friday.
Greater Manchester Police said in a statement: “We can confirm that GMP are investigating an incident of racist abuse linked to a social media post.”
A spokesperson for Meta, the company which owns and runs Instagram, claimed that it has already removed a number of comments on Elanga’s page.
