The Manchester United midfielder was allegedly abused and struck by an object at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday
Fred has said that racist incidents, such as the abuse he suffered in Saturday’s Manchester derby, are evidence of “a backward society.”
Television footage showed a fan apparently making a monkey gesture toward the Brazilian midfielder and Manchester United team-mate Jesse Lingard . Soon after the incident Fred was hit by at least one object thrown from the stands.
Manchester City have said that any fan guilty of racism in the ground will be banned for life.
