Twitter is reportedly set to closely monitor activity on the platform surrounding 50 high-profile black footballers in an attempt to stop racist abuse.
According to Martyn Ziegler of The Times, "the monitoring system will aim to react more promptly to remove racist posts, block abusers' accounts and report them to the police."
A Twitter insider said, "we've made it a priority to reduce the burden on people to report."
Manchester United's Paul Pogba was abused on social media on Monday after he saw a penalty saved in the 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.
