Manchester United midfielder Fred suffered racial attacks on social media following his team’s 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Leicester City on Sunday.
The Brazilian was to blame for Kelechi Iheanacho’s opener, under-hitting a back-pass that allowed the Nigerian to tap in with ease, and as a result, his Instagram page was filled with racial and personal abuse.
Fred disabled the comments on his most recent post, as the bullying got so bad, a photo of him and fellow midfielder Paul Pogba celebrating their win over AC Milan on Thursday.
