Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford, was the target of racial attacks following their 0-0 draw against Arsenal on Saturday.
\nRashford said he chose not to take screenshots of the messages he got, as it would be irresponsible to do so.
\n\u201cHumanity and social media at its worst. Yes, I\u2019m a Black man and I live every day proud that I am. No one, or no one comment, is going to make me feel any different.
\n\u201cSo sorry if you were looking for a strong reaction, you\u2019re just simply not going to get it here,\u201d the 23-year-old tweeted late on Saturday.
\nEarlier in the week, the FA condemned the racial abuse of Rashford\u2019s teammates, Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial, following their 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United.
\nWest Bromwich Albion\u2019s Romaine Sawyers and Chelsea\u2019s Reece James were also targeted this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
