Sheffield United say they will be working with authorities to identify an individual who sent racist abuse to striker David McGoldrick.
The 32-year-old Irish forward was targeted via Instagram Direct Messages after scoring twice in his side’s 3-0 victory over Chelsea in the Premier League.
McGoldrick posted a screenshot of the message with the caption “2020 and this is life”, and the Blades say that such behaviour cannot be allowed to continue.
