Vinicius Jr told ‘come to Man Utd’ after vile racist abuse in Real Madrid defeat

Vinicius Jr has faced calls to join Manchester United after suffering appalling racist abuse in Real Madrid’s 1-0 defeat to Valencia on Sunday.

Manchester United fans have flocked to Twitter to urge Vinicius Jr to join the club. The Real Madrid star is in the spotlight after receiving vile racist abuse from Valencia fans during his side’s 1-0 defeat on Sunday. However, it appears he’s likely to stay at the Bernabeu despite the incident not being an isolated one.

Vinicius was seen crying as Valencia fans turned on him on Sunday, with the Brazil international then receiving a red card despite being choked by opponent Hugo Duro.

It is not the first time the 22-year-old has suffered abuse, with Mallorca and Atletico Madrid fans also targeting him earlier in the season.

And United fans have now flocked to Twitter to call on Vinicius to move to Old Trafford this summer.

“We are with you Vini. Leave that dead league and come to United,” said @TheUtdLatest.

“Just come to United my brother you deserve an exciting league free of racial abuse,” stated @ElijahBryant18.

@KediConrad said: “Come to United Vinicius Jr.”

“La Liga loves you but here @ManUtd we love you more Vini come to united buddy,” were the words of @UTDPLUG_.

“Vinicius, come to United where you would be adored like your compatriot Casemiro,” rallied @HenryNanthony.

And @rocknrollstar06 said: “Disgusting. Come to United, we’ll look after you Vini.”

While United fans want Vinicius to leave Real Madrid this summer, that doesn’t appear likely to happen.

Reports have suggested the forward is keen to stay at the Bernabeu, despite the amount he’s suffered this term.

Those close to the player have apparently started to work on a potential exit for the forward.

But Vinicius is committed to Madrid and wants to stick, rather than twist, and win the fight against racism over in Spain.

Speaking after the defeat to Valencia, meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti defended his talisman and slammed the actions of supporters inside the ground.

“About what happened here. I think that’s more important,” he said when asked about his side losing.

“More important than a defeat, don’t you?

“I’m calm, but what happened today shouldn’t happen. For a stadium to shout ‘monkey’ at a player and for a coach to think about taking him off for that… There’s something wrong with this league.”

Asked about his talisman’s state of mind, Ancelotti continued: “He didn’t want to play on.

“I told him that I didn’t think it was fair, it wasn’t his fault, he wasn’t to blame.

“He continued playing, and he also got a senseless red card. That said, we have a problem.

“For me, Vinicius is one of the best in the world. These episodes of racism can’t happen, it was the whole stadium, not just one person, as on other occasions.

“It has to be stopped. And I would say the same if we won 3-0.”

Ancelotti also he had asked for the match to be stopped, only for his pleas to fall on deaf ears.

“I told him he has to stop the match,” continued the Italian.

“He told me that the protocol says that you have to report it, but he has been insulted from the first minute.

“Stop the match. For me, it’s to stop the match. It’s clear that this can’t go on, it’s impossible.

“He is the player who receives the most fouls and the most insults.”
