Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out has contacted Manchester United to seek swift action against its supporters singing a "racist" chant about Romelu Lukaku.
Footage emerged of fans singing about the size of Lukaku's penis during their Champions League victory over Basel earlier this month, something which has been deemed as 'racial stereotyping'.
The song goes to the tune of Stone Roses' track Made of Stone and was alleged to have been repeated during Sunday's 4-0 victory over Everton, in which Lukaku scored a goal and assisted another.
Kick It Out says the chant is "offensive and discriminatory" and has warned guilty fans to expect punishment for reinforcing racist stereotypes.

A spokesperson said: “Kick It Out is aware of the footage of the alleged racist chanting by supporters of Manchester United that emerged on Wednesday evening [13 September]. The lyrics used in the chant are offensive and discriminatory.
"Racist stereotypes are never acceptable in football or wider society, irrespective of showing support for a player.
“We have contacted Manchester United and will be working closely with them and the FA to ensure that the issue is addressed swiftly. The perpetrators can expect to face punishment.”
