Manchester United issued the following statement on Saturday evening, after a chant about Romelu Lukaku was heard in the crowd during the Reds' 1-0 Premier League win at Southampton.

Manchester United has a zero-tolerance stance on offensive chanting and behaviour.

The club and player have been clear in asking for an end to the chant.

The club has worked with relevant bodies and supporters groups in trying to eradicate any offensive behaviour and will take further action against individuals if this continues.

The club is in discussion with the police and has asked for CCTV footage from Southampton and will try to identify those who disrespected the player's wishes not to sing the song.
