Sheffield United have condemned the ‘disgusting’ racial abuse David McGoldrick received on Instagram.

A Sheffield United statement declared: “As a club we will support David McGoldrick and will do all we can to find the perpetrator of this disgusting message.

“This cannot continue. Something needs to change.”

McGoldrick, who netted a brace against Chelsea to keep Sheffield United’s European hopes alive, is the latest Premier League star to be racially targeted.
A 12-year-old boy was arrested by West Midlands Police for sending horrific racial abuse to Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha .
The winger published screenshots of the messages, which included one calling him a ‘black c***’, on the morning of his side’s 2-0 defeat by Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Premier League condemned the discriminatory abuse.
It said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and the Premier League stands alongside @wilfriedzaha in opposing this, and discrimination in any form.
“There is #NoRoomForRacism, anywhere.
“We will continue to support players, managers, coaches and their family members who receive serious discriminatory online abuse.
