How Pep Guardiola reacted to the racist abuse towards Fred

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola consoled Fred after the United midfielder revealed he was racially abused during derby. The Blues supporter was noticed to send possible racist gestures towards the 26-year-old during the second half of the Red Devils' 2 - 1 win over the Citizens. The MEN understand, after the post-match press conference, Guardiola met Fred in the mixed zone area. The pair spoke for around 30 seconds before the midfielder boarded the United team boss. On Sunday, Greater Manchester Police arrested a 41-year-old City fan. In a statement, the GMP said: "A man has been arrested after a video posted on social media showed a supporter making racist gestures at the Manchester City v Manchester United match at the Etihad Stadium yesterday." United confirmed Fred and Jesse Lingard reported about racist abuse. The club boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: "I've seen it on the video, it was Jesse and Fred and the fella must be ashamed of himself. It's unacceptable and I hope he will not be watching any football anymore. Fred and Jesse were taking a corner and I've seen the video, heard from the boys. We keep talking about it every bloody week. But he's been caught on camera, he should in my opinion never be allowed into a football ground again. Unacceptable. I'm sure City and the authorities will deal with it. We keep talking about it every week and it won't stop unless it'll have consequences." When asked what an appropriate punishment would be, the Red Devils boss replied: "Why don't we educate him instead? It's not City's fault, it's his and he should be educated, that's my opinion anyway. It's nothing to do with Man City as a football club, no."
