Former Manchester United star Hannibal Mejbri has accused an opponent of making a racist comment during Preston and Burnley's 0-0 draw in the Championship.

'I will not be silent about what happened today,' the midfielder began on social media. 'I will always call out racism whenever I hear or see it.

'That is the only way we change as a sport and a society. I am a strong person but nobody should have to experience this disgusting abuse on the pitch.'

Milutin Osmajic, the man accused of making the comments, 'has strongly refuted the claims of a comment made towards Hannibal Mejbri in a post-match meeting with today’s match officials', Preston have said.
