    Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters has suffered racist abuse online following Saints’ goalless draw at Manchester United.

    Several offensive replies, including monkey emojis, appeared on Sunday in the comments section under the full-back's most recent - week-old - Instagram post.
    One racist term towards Walker-Peters followed a reference to United substitute Alejandro Garnacho.
    The closing stages of the contest at Old Trafford saw Garnacho writhe in pain after a Walker-Peters challenge on him in the box.
