Wilfried Zaha has accused Manchester United and Liverpool fans of ‘calling him a black monkey’ on Instagram.

The Crystal Palace winger, who spent a single unsuccessful season at Old Trafford between 2013 and 2014, claims he has been subjected to racial slurs and spoke out publicly with a message to his followers on Saturday.

“If Man United and Liverpool fans feel better by calling me a black monkey in my messages .. feel free to carry on if it makes your day better,” he wrote.

Zaha didn’t go into any more detail and did not choose to identify any of the accused.

The post came after the 24-year-old played for Palace against West Brom in the Premier League Asia Trophy, a game in which manager Frank de Boer claimed the Baggies were targeting Zaha for rough treatment and accused them of deliberately trying to injure his player.
