Twitter against trolls• Players were attacked online after missing penaltiesManchester United are to meet representatives of
Facebook following the online racial abuse of
Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford. The attacks on the players came via Twitter after penalty misses, with Pogba targeted after Monday’s draw at Wolves and Rashford in the wake of Saturday’s defeat to Crystal Palace.
United were already due to meet Twitter and have now decided discussions with Facebook are required because of the trend of online
racism aimed at players. The club recognise the problem is less pronounced on Facebook but are determined to be as proactive as possible. Ole Gunnar Solskjær said he was “lost for words” after the abuse of Rashford.
