Manchester United to investigate 'racist abuse' aimed at Jesse Lingard during FA Cup win

Manchester United have launched an investigation into foul-mouthed and alleged racist abuse aimed at Jesse Lingard following their 3-0 win at Derby on Thursday night.

United will speak to Derby about the incident which happened as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad made their way onto the team bus at Pride Park.

A video circulated on social media on Thursday night showing a group of people repeatedly shouting insults at Lingard and taunting him on his goals and assist tally this season.

It has also been claimed that one person shouted "n*****" before Lingard entered the team bus parked outside the stadium.

It is unclear at this stage whether the group were Manchester United fans.

Lingard's teammate Luke Shaw was seen at the door of the bus remonstrating with the group.

Derbyshire Police are also investigating the incident and appealing for witnesses and information.

"We are aware of the video that was taken outside Pride Park following last night's game between Derby County and Manchester United and enquiries are ongoing," a Derbyshire Police statement said.
