With the Premier League staging its annual Rainbow Laces campaign, homophobic abuse has been defined as a hate crime by the Crown Prosecution Service meaning the Football Association is now able to take disciplinary action against clubs.

Asked about the chants from the United fans, Ten Hag said: “It doesn’t belong in the stands, I mean the whole stadium.

“I think when Rapha Varane came (off) it was the same on the other side with the Chelsea fans, so don’t do it.”
