		</div><p>Manchester United midfielder Fred says “we cannot feed that culture” after becoming the latest footballer to receive racist abuse online.</p>
<p>The Brazil international was targeted on Instagram after his side’s 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Leicester on Sunday, where he gifted the ball to Kelechi Iheanacho ahead of the Foxes’ opening goal.</p>
<p>Fred wrote on Twitter: “Social media comments filled with hate and, above all, racism: we cannot feed that culture.</p>
<p>“We cannot [accept] it. We have to fight it always.</p>
<p>“We are bigger and better than that. Enough!”</p>
<p>The 28-year-old is one of several United players to be subjected to abuse in recent weeks.</p>
<p>Marcus Rashford posted a statement about comments directed at him in late January, while Anthony Martial and Axel Tuanzebe were also targeted.</p>
<p>Manchester United have previously condemned abuse directed at their players by “mindless idiots” and, in a Twitter post quoting Fred’s statement on Monday, said: “We stand together #UnitedAgainstRacism”.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, the UK’s football policing lead Detective Chief Constable Mark Roberts said the response of social media companies in assisting the police to identify abusers has been “woeful”.</p>
<p>At the time a spokesperson for Facebook, which also owns Instagram, said the company “will continue to work with the police and wider industry to collectively tackle this issue”.</p>
