A Manchester United supporter accused of hurling racial abuse at Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been identified and banned by the club,
Alexander-Arnold was allegedly labelled a "f****** black c***" by a supporter in the home end during Sunday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
A fan was escorted from the stadium by security staff after nearby supporters reported the incident and United launched an investigation.
Having scoured CCTV footage and identified the supporter via their season ticket database, they have now been handed an indefinite ban.
The fan has had his season ticket revoked but can appeal the punishment after receiving notification of the ban via a letter from the club.
Greater Manchester Police are also looking into the situation having been made aware of what happened.
A Manchester United club spokesperson said: "Racism and all forms of discrimination are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the values of our club.
"Following our investigation into the alleged incidence of racist abuse on Sunday, we have issued an indefinite ban to the individual involved.
"This individual is not welcome at Old Trafford and we want to reinforce that we will continue to take strong action against anyone who we identify has engaged in racist or discriminatory abuse, either online or at our matches."
