Nov 2, 2009 8:06:59 AM
Manchester United have urged their fans to stop singing an offensive chant directed at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger every time he visits Old Trafford.
The Frenchman has been subjected to such abuse at other stadia as well, but the situation in the red half of Manchester remains grim when compared to the likes of the Gunners' arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The chant was audible even to television viewers during the game at Old Trafford on August 29, when the former AS Monaco boss was sent off for displaying his anger at a refereeing decision.
A United spokesman said: "We have gone on the record several times about this disgusting chant.
"We don't condone it and have appealed to fans several times in the past.
"The club will also tell stewards to take a harder line with fans who ignore the appeal."
Acording to The Guardian, Sir Alex Ferguson is set to voice his concerns through a letter to the fans.
