Manchester United distance themselves from Argentina scandal after 'racist' viral video
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester United have distanced themselves from a viral video the French Football Federation said included an alleged 'racist and discriminatory' chant.
Argentina successfully defended their Copa America title last weekend with an extra-time win over Colombia. However, their celebrations were marred when Chelsea player Enzo Fernandez shared a video from the team bus on social media that appeared to show him and his teammates involved in chants that included racist and homophobic slurs.
Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho were included in the Argentina squad for the tournament but United have distanced themselves from the video.
Garnacho is not seen in the footage, Martinez appears to be spotted - he is not chanting and his presence needs to be verified - and a club source said there isn't evidence of either player being involved.
