Michel Platini arrested

Jun 18, 2019

A new report shows that most racism-related football arrests in the UK in recent years involved Manchester United fans! 

According to newly-released figures from British police, 27 United fans were arrested in the four seasons up to 2017-18 

They're followed by Championship clubs Leeds and Millwall, while Leicester and Chelsea round up the top 5.

United have played down the figures, saying they have a very large fanbase, so the percentage is miniscule.
