Manchester United supporters have been involved in more football-related arrests where racism was an aggravating factor or a feature than any other club in England in the four seasons up to 2017-18, data from the Home Office shows. Manchester United pointed to the fact their large attendances meant the percentage of their supporters involved was miniscule. The data shows an overall total of 107 arrests where racism was recorded as a feature during the 2014-15 season, rising to 114 in 2015-16. Other clubs with arrests in double figures are West Ham (11), with Barnsley, Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Sunderland all on 10. In 2018-19 England forward Raheem Sterling alleged he was racially abused during a match for his club Manchester City at Chelsea.
