Phil Foden chants: Why Manchester United won't be charged

Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out says "sexism isn't banter" after derogatory chants about Phil Foden's mother were sung during Sunday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

The Football Association, according to its rulebook, will not take action against Manchester United over the chants, which could be heard throughout the first half of the goalless draw and when Manchester City forward Foden was substituted in the 57th minute.

Following the match, City boss Guardiola said those joining in with the insulting chants showed "a lack of class" and "should be ashamed".

KIO chief operating officer Hollie Varney told BBC Sport: "We've seen several incidents of sexist and misogynistic mass chanting in men's football this season, yet too often the response from football falls short.

"Sexism isn't 'banter'. Hearing sexist chants echo around a stadium doesn't just affect the players involved or those directly targeted, it creates an environment where women can feel unsafe or unwelcome."
