Reds join anti-racism social media boycott
Manchester United defender Chris Smalling and some of his team-mates are taking part in a boycott of all social media on Friday, as part of a new Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) initiative aimed at tackling racism.
The PFA has urged its members to post an #Enough graphic on their social media profiles across different platforms ahead of the 24-hour boycott, which Smalling did just over half an hour before the boycott's 9am start.

We are making a stand against racist abuse.
We recognise that our platforms come with responsibility, and so we are using our voice to stand against racist abuse.
Together, we are calling on social media platforms and footballing bodies to do more! pic.twitter.com/8EqNgD41BS
