Manchester United have launched an urgent investigation after a spectator was ejected from Old Trafford amid allegations of racist abuse during another depressing weekend for football. The Premier League giants have branded any form of racism “completely unacceptable” following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool. A United spokesperson said the club was aware of an incident “where an individual in the home section has allegedly engaged in racial abuse”. Haringey said on Twitter that the game had been abandoned following racist abuse and their defender Coby Rowe wrote on his account that he had been a victim. As well as Rowe receiving racist abuse from the crowd, Borough chairman Aki Achillea claimed keeper Douglas Pajetat was spat upon and had a bottle thrown at him.
