Harry Maguire has sent a message of support to a Manchester United pundit who was racially abused outside Old Trafford.
Flex, a content creator and presenter on the United View and talkSPORT, was racially abused following Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

The incident occurred whilst he was filming a piece to camera outside the stadium.
In a video shared to X, Flex responded to the incident, telling fans: “There was an incident that happened yesterday with an individual who was just straight up racist.
“Making a racist gesture towards me and to everybody watching of colour and to everybody there, witnesses behind the camera, of colour.”

He also thanked the community for their messages of support and the solidarity shown on social media since the incident.
Several followers also left messages underneath the video, including Maguire.
The United defender wrote: “Disgraceful. Hope you’re ok @FlexUTD we are all united together.”
Maguire was not involved on Sunday as he continues to recover from injury.
He has been out of action for several weeks, with his last appearances coming in the goalless draw at Aston Villa on October 6.
The former Red Devils captain could make his return before the international break, though.
There remains a possibility he will be fit in time to feature against Leicester at Old Trafford this Sunday.

The match will be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s last as interim manager before new boss Ruben Amorim takes charge.
In Maguire’s absence, United played out a 1-1 draw with the Blues.
Bruno Fernandes’ second half penalty was cancelled out by Moises Caicedo just four minutes later.
The result leaves United 13th in the Premier League with 12 points from their opening 10 matches.
