A MAN arrested on suspicion of sending a racist Tweet to Marcus Rashford is still being investigated, police say.

Nick Scott was arrested after a tweet from his account told the Manchester United forward to "get to ya own country".

The tweet read: "@MarcusRashford that MBE needs burning ya fake.

"Pack them bags and get to ya own country".

The tweets caused outraged online, with Mr Scott, from Powick, later claiming via Twitter that he had been hacked.

A West Mercia Police spokesman confirmed yesterday that the investigation is still ongoing.

Earlier this year, the police told the Worcester News that enquiries of this nature "Take a significant amount of time to complete."

Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were targeted after they missed penalties in the Euro 2020 final shoot-out defeat at Wembley.

The UK Football Policing Unit said of the 207 posts on social media identified as criminal, 123 accounts belong to individuals outside the United Kingdom.

The details of those individuals and cases are in the process of being passed on to the relevant countries to act on them.

A total of 34 accounts have so far been identified as being in the UK, and 11 of these account holders have now been arrested.

The FA said in a statement: “We will not tolerate any form of discrimination and we hope these arrests act as a clear deterrent for perpetrators for online abuse who believe there will be no real-world consequences for their actions.

“The importance of reporting abusive posts should not be underestimated and we thank the individuals and organisations who have supported this investigation so far.

“We will continue to work with players, fans, our stakeholders across the game and the relevant authorities to ensure that the strongest possible action is taken against those found proven to have posted online discriminatory abuse."
