Anthony Elanga: Sweden Under-21s forward subjected to alleged racist comment by opponent

Elanga made his first-team debut for Manchester United last season

Manchester United forward Anthony Elanga was subjected to an alleged racist comment by an opponent while playing for Sweden Under-21s against Italy, the Swedish FA has said.

"No-one should have to be exposed to racism, it is completely unacceptable," said Sweden manager Claes Eriksson.

"We all stand behind and support Anthony in this."

The European Under-21 Championship qualifier finished 1-1 on Tuesday, with Sweden scoring a 92nd-minute equaliser.

Elanga has featured once for United this season, coming on as a substitute during the Carabao Cup defeat by West Ham in September.

BBC Sport has contacted the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for comment.
