Romelu Lukaku’s agent has become the latest figure to ask Manchester United fans to stop singing a racist chant about the striker.

A song, which refers to Lukaku’s penis that widely plays into racist stereotypes, has been sung at recent games.

Prior to the weekend Lukaku was quoted on Manchester United’s official Twitter page, asking them to stop.

‘Fans have meant well with their songs, but let’s move on together,’ said the Belgian.

But after the former Everton player scored in Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Southampton on Saturday, some fans began singing the chant. It was followed by: ‘We’re Man United, we’ll sing what we want.’

Mino Raiola, the player’s agent, has since affirmed Lukaku’s position that the striker wants an end to it: ‘He would like this song to stop. They are talking more about the song than about his football. That’s his and my quote.’

‘The club and player have been clear in asking for an end to the chant.

“The club has worked with relevant bodies and supporters’ groups in trying to eradicate any offensive behaviour and will take further action against individuals if this continues.

‘The club is in discussion with the police and has asked for CCTV footage from Southampton and will try to identify those who disrespected the player’s wishes not to sing the song.’

Lukaku’s winning goal against Southampton continues his impressive start to life at Manchester United. He’s scored in every game except one and has a total of eight goals in as many appearances.
