Sheffield United was at the bottom of the Premier League points table when they took on Manchester United. However, a poor performance by the Red Devils resulted in a shock defeat as Sheffield United won 2-1 and shocked Man U fans.<\/p>\n<p>Man United did not play well and their defense was terrible. Defender <strong>Axel Tuanzebe<\/strong> made a mistake when he accidentally guided a shot from <strong>Oliver Burke<\/strong> into the Man U goal. He and another black player <strong>Anthony Martial<\/strong> received a lot of flak on social media. However, it is one thing to have your performance criticised on social media but another thing when you get subjected to racial abuse.<\/p>\n<p>Man U fans racially abused both Martial and Tuanzebe by using monkey emojis and racist terms. Most of these comments were made on Instagram. <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a disgrace \ud83e\udd2c<br \/>These ignorant idiots need to be exposed so everyone can see them for what they are! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jGZiAEnVHv\">pic.twitter.com\/jGZiAEnVHv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rioferdy5\/status\/1354741433790558208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky Sports Football<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4eC0j3R27W8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Man United Stands With Players and Against Racism<\/h2>\n<p>English football clubs have been criticised in the past for not doing enough to stamp out racism.
