Manchester United players have vented their anger on social media following the racist abuse directed towards one of their teammates.

French World Cup winner Paul Pogba was racially abused after he missed a penalty during the Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux on Monday night.

Two Manchester United players namely Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford took to their respective social media accounts to stand up against the racial abuse meted out to Paul Pogba.

The players called on social media companies to clamp down on accounts perpetrating the act.

Pogba was the villain for Manchester United after he missed a spot-kick that would have given his team the three points at stake against Wolves.

Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw with Wolves as a result of the missed penalty.

The Red Devils took the lead in the first half through young French attacker Anthony Martial who scored his second league goal of the season in as many games against the Midlands club.

Wolves battled back in the second half through Ruben Neves before club skipper Conor Coady brought down Pogba in the box thus paving the way for him to miss the chance to give Manchester United all the points at stake after Wolves shot-stopper Rui Patricio saved his penalty kick.
