Kyle Walker-Peters receives support from Raphael Varane and sends message to Alejandro Garnacho

Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters has responded to the racial abuse he received in the aftermath of the Saints' draw with Manchester United at the weekend, while also sending a message to Alejandro Garnacho.

The English defender suffered racist abuse online on Sunday, with offensive remarks posted in the comments section of the 25-year-old's week-old Instagram post following the 0-0 draw at Old Trafford.

A racist term was directed at Walker-Peters in response to a comment about United youngster Garnacho, who had come off the bench in the clash. The Uruguayan appeared in pain following a challenge from the Southampton full-back in the closing stages of the game, which led to him coming off in added time.
