"I'm the daughter of a black woman, so I have been adjacent to the experience of a black woman in society. It's no surprise to me. I think it's very shameful that situations like that are continuing to happen. I also just recently met with United's campaign 'All Red All Equal' so, I know on our doorstep, we're looking internally at what we're doing as a club."
"That's where I think we can really look at what we do locally at United and then keep branching out through our social media or content and make sure that people know it's just simply not OK. Period. Full stop. It's not OK."
"racists are cowards"
UEFA has opened an investigation after Vinicius Jr alleged racial abuse by Benfica midfielder Gianluca Prestianni during Real Madrid's Champions League match in Lisbon. The incident included Prestianni covering his mouth during an exchange and a subsequent 10-minute delay; Benfica defended Prestianni while coach Jose Mourinho blamed Vinicius's celebration for provoking fans. Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce described the persistence of racism in football as shameful but unsurprising, referenced personal family experience, and noted involvement with United's 'All Red All Equal' campaign. Vinicius has faced multiple racist incidents previously, including a conviction that led to suspended prison sentences for five people.
