Some fans on Twitter alleged they heard one person shouting a racial slur.

Hundreds of Twitter users commented on the video with one writing: ‘They are even saying the N word just because Jesse isn’t playing well. This is disturbing and vile.’

It comes just one day after Tottenham star Eric Dier astonishingly confronted a supporter after his brother Patrick took exception to the midfielder being insulted during their shock FA Cup exit against Norwich.

In the video posted to Twitter, one fan was heard pointing out that Lingard, who has struggled for form since the 2018 World Cup, had failed to register a single goal or assist for United last year in one of several verbal attacks on the player. 

Sportsmail has contacted United for comment.

Eric Dier confronted fan after seeing brother in row with heckling fan

Eric Dier confronted a supporter after they became embroiled in a row with his younger brother Patrick following Tottenham’s FA Cup exit against Norwich on Wednesday night.   

Dier reacted angrily after spotting the altercation, which began after his brother took exception to the midfielder being insulted.

The Tottenham man vaulted rows of seats to drag his brother away and has received the backing of his manager Jose Mourinho. 

The Football Association however are facing a dilemma over whether to charge Dier for the incident.

Lingard suffered alleged racial abuse along with his team-mate Fred from Manchester City supporters during United’s derby victory back in December.

Speaking about that incident in the immediate aftermath, Lingard said: ‘Not even this idiot can ruin tonight’s feeling, shameful behaviour, it may be the derby but there is never ever a reason to be racist!’

Lingard has rarely featured for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side in recent weeks amid a long run of poor performances but played the full 90 minutes of Thursday night’s FA Cup victory. 

The 27-year-old had a hand in United’s opener with replays looking like Shaw’s volley had come off of his back, although the goal was eventually awarded to the defender.

Odion Ighalo grabbed the other two as United eased past the Championship club to book their place in the FA Cup quarter-final.
