Manchester United's Wilfried Zaha 'suffers racist abuse on Twitter'

Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha has reportedly been the target of racist abuse on social networking website Twitter.

Anti-racism organisation Kick It Out tweeted that a message regarding the 21-year-old, who is currently on loan at Cardiff City, had been reported to the authorities.

Kick It Out wrote: "Kick It Out is reporting a number of racist messages published on Twitter this evening, including one directed @wilfriedzaha, to Police."

The abuse came on the same night that Zaha denied criticising United manager David Moyes by posting a message praising Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
