Manchester United Brazilian midfielder, Frederico Rodrigues de Paula Santos, known as Fred received racist abuse on Instagram following the 4-2 loss to Liverpool at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
According to Skysport, Frederico who is 28 year old, started the game for Manchester United before being replaced by Mason Greenwood in the 63rd minute with United 3-1 down at the time.
After the game Frederico was sent the abuse via the comment section of an image he posted on Instagram on Sunday, celebrating Manchester United’s away win at Villa Park.
The Brazilian was sent a number of racially abusive messages, including racial slurs and ‘monkey emojis’. He was previously racially abused this season after Manchester United’s FA Cup exit to Leicester.
