Manchester United players are 'absolutely sick' of receiving racial abuse on social media, club chief Charlie Brooks has insisted after Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial were targeted by online trolls.
Tuanzebe, 23, was subjected to vile racist comments on his Instagram account following United's shock defeat at home to Sheffield United on Wednesday night - including one which read 'DAMNNN N*****' as well as several abhorrent monkey emojis on an old photo that he had posted a fortnight ago of his United shirt and number.
Some reports have claimed Tuanzebe has deleted his Twitter account as a result of the abuse he suffered following the game at Old Trafford, while Martial was also subjected to abuse after playing the whole game, leading United to call for social media sites to eradicate abuse posted by 'anonymous mindless idiots'.
