Ralf Rangnick has condemned the idiots who racially abused Anthony Elanga after he missed a penalty for Manchester United.
Ralf Rangnick said: “What I learned was that there were some comments from some idiots on social media again after the game against Middlesbrough when Anthony Elanga missed that penalty. But again, this is not only a problem of football. It is a social phenomenon or problem and of course, it gets magnified in the football business because there are so many people reading what other people write or say. Yes, I think so far what I have experienced with our club is that we have massive support, including by the way the reaction of the Stretford End with regard to Anthony Elanga. They supported him. He got all the support from teammates – you could see that on the pitch. There were several players including Bruno hugging him and going to him, including myself. This is normal because this is football. There have been a lot of other more experienced players missing penalties in the last 100 years so, as I said, those are problems of society and of course they are being magnified in the football business.”
