26-27 seconds in onwards, you can hear the n-word repeatedly.

Find the culprits immediately.

Is that Shaw who turns around at the end and gives a bit back?

Looks like he's signing an autograph to me.

Anyway, hope United find out who it is, will be hard though unfortunately.

 

[Aarron Swift]

It's awful that. No player deserves that. especially from his own fans. Hes been terrible in the last 14 months but he hasn't done anything personally to be abused on that level (being shouting at called shit i mean, no excuse for racism ever).

Have to wonder if this has further effects on the squad as a whole. United has a better feeling and atmosphere over the past 5/6 weeks but for you team mate & it seems a popular member of the squad is getting that level of abuse from own fans. has to bring the whole squad down

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Christ, is that the club's own fans abusing a player like that infront of the team bus? I dislike a fair share of players as much as the next bloke but how would anyone ever want to come play for the team if the fans abuse their own player like that.

Low rent wankers.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

There are some seriously disgusting people about, I won't use the word human. Hope they get found and banned. I would actually get him to apologise face to face with Jesse.

 

[LInkash]

Conspiracy theory: Mino hired that guy so that the public would feel sympathy for Jesse

On a serious note, that's awful. I don't get how people can be so evil.

 

[e.cantona]

OMG.. who fecking acts like that

 

[FootyGirl88]

People are saying on Twitter it was Derby fans, either way they need to be locked up.

 

[Pexbo]

The racist abuse is clearly what will be investigated by police but what an absolute disgrace shouting all that crap at Lingard. Whatever happened to supporting our players? It's one thing to see it on here but to actually shout that at him in person is pathetic. If you read about what he's dealing with in his personal life you might begin to understand why his game might be suffering at the moment. You often hear players talk back over difficult times they had in their personal life and how the support of the club and fans was so important to them at the time. Apparently that's all out the window and we just bully our players into leaving now.

Absolute scrotes, I'd love to see how hard they would be acting if Maguire, McTominay or Bailly pulled an Eric Dier on them, I bet they'd soil themselves.

Whats funny about it?

Exactly, they are still racists.

 

[Antisocial]

fecking disgraceful

Uh, what do you mean? The stupidity of it.. Didn't I give that away by the second part of that post?

Why would Derby fans be dishing out that Level of abuse at Lingard?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Why do such cretins exist in the world today!

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Doesn't make sense for it to be Derby fans, it would be incredibly sad if someone waited outside for a team bus of an opposing team and then abuse them for beating their team 3-0.

 

[Skills]

So that's Young, Pogba and Lingard now within a year.

I don't know about the racist guy but the one filming/loudest was definitely from Manchester.

Hope the police deal with the racism and the club finds and bans the other. Yes Lingard invites some ire with his antics but that's too much.

 

[Eckers99]

Absolutely appalling. Whatever your opinions on him as a person, he's a United player and another human being. Depressing stuff.

Doesn't make sense that Derby fans would be waiting outside the bus. Would definitely take stuff posted on twitter with a pinch of salt - especially after the Dier fiasco.

You ever looked at the comments/replies to Lingards Instagram posts?

It’s fecking disgusting.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

If you’re just singling our Utd players yes. Part of a wider problem? Then include all the others and ordinary people going about their daily business.

It’s getting worse

 

[AaronRedDevil]

I’m surprised the fans around him don’t tell him to shut the f up. Racism needs to be stomped out. Literally. This season needs more Cantona moments then ever.

 

[Kappa123]

It's fine to slate the players on the Caf but don't actually say it to them...

That concept doesn't really exist at this club. The fanbase get exhausted at maintaining their pretence of "backing the managers", that they then just unload all of that locked up rage at the players.

We're horrible club to work for if you're a player.

There's more than one of them. You hear a different voice at 32s

 

[Judas]

Be it Utd fans or opposition ones, of course Derby fans would wait for Man Utd players for autographs etc. that's pretty normal when big teams face smaller ones, get a glimpse of megastar footballers. I'm sure that whole crowd was a mix of both sets of fans probably.

Disgusting unsurprising abuse, it's vile on here at times, so sadly not shocked. It's fecking football, its pathetic the way people act.

 

[Tom Cato]

I can only imagine the rightful fury from Eric Cantona had he been on the team in this day and age and present for this.

Cowards feeling safe in a crowd. I hope they are indentified and presented with a 10 year ban from attending any games.

The number of phones about, you wonder if anyone has actually filmed this lot so you can see their faces? If yes I hope they have taken it straight to the police.

Don't think it is something they are going to grow out of. Lifetime ban justified.

They do it because they know that wont be a price to pay since players can't retaliate like the Erics. Basically cowards.

 

[do.ob]

How many people are there? 50? Whoever did this wasn't exactly camouflaged by the masses around him. I don't understand why people develop such a personal hatred of particular players. As long as they are trying it's not their fault that they keep playing, blame the guy who keeps playing them or who didn't buy something better, but don't hate the guy who is doing his best.

 

[Aretak]

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like "Lingard Lingard" to me.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Fair enough not wanting Lingard at the club because you think he isn't good enough, but that's just out of order doing that.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Nationwide ban for the feckers. Shouldn't be allowed near a pitch ever again.

 

[Raw]

You can have as much criticism against Lingard all you want, but to do shit like this is fecking embarrassing. Even without the racism part, hurling abuse at your own player like that is idiotic. Whoever it is deserves banning.

 

[Sassy Colin]

tbh, I'm surprised they are allowed to get that close to the bus in the first place. There should be a decent distance between the crowd of fans & the bus, so the players can go over to the fans to sign programs and stuff but the fans aren't close enough to almost touch the coach.

Back the fecking manager, pal. That goes above anything.
