English football bosses have condemned homophobic chanting from Manchester United fans at Chelsea as the Stamford Bridge club has also insisted that the chants are 'unacceptable'.

Offensive chants were heard at regular intervals from some away supporters as United forced a 1-1 Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge.

United boss Erik ten Hag and Chelsea counterpart Graham Potter both lamented the chants, while the Football Association pledged to crack down on discriminatory behaviour.

"The FA strongly condemns the use of the term "rent boy" and we are determined to drive it out of our game," said an FA spokesperson.
