Manchester United midfielder Fred has expressed his disappointment after allegedly suffering racial abuse during the Red Devils' 2-1 victory at Manchester City.
TV cameras appeared to show a supporter making a monkey gesture to the Brazilian, with the player also hit by an object thrown from the crowd.
Speaking to Andy Mitten for United Arab Emirates newspaper The National, Fred said he was delighted with the win but saddened by the events that unfolded with the Sky Blues supporters:
"It’s something difficult. We just want to play football, to do the best for our team and our supporters.
