Manchester United: Man arrested at game over racist comments

A man has been arrested on suspicion of making racist comments during Manchester United's Premier League win over Crystal Palace.

The 56-year-old was arrested at Old Trafford on Sunday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and remains in custody.

Supt Caroline Hemingway said: "This type of behaviour is utterly unacceptable."

United won the game 1-0 thanks to a 77th minute goal from midfielder Fred.

Supt Hemingway said the force worked "closely with Manchester United to promote good behaviour at matches and to identify anyone who commits a criminal offence".
