Man Utd's Elanga alleges racist abuse

Man Utd's Elanga alleges racist abuse

Manchester United teenager Anthony Elanga has alleged that he was subjected to racist abuse after Sweden Under-21s' clash with Italy on Tuesday.

Sweden and Italy played out a 1-1 draw in U21 European Championship qualifying in Monza, with Lorenzo Lucca opening the scoring for the home side before Tim Prica grabbed a late equaliser.

Elanga was taken off after 72 minutes, but was at the centre of an incident between both teams after the final whistle that has led to him making serious allegations against an opposition player.

Elanga has claimed that he was the victim of racist abuse, having been left visibly distraught by something said to him by an Italian player after the game.

The 19-year-old was pulled away by the referee but both sets of players were seen engaged in animated discussions as they made their way down the tunnel and into their respective dressing rooms.
