Man Utd: Jack Fletcher banned for six matches for homophobic slur

Manchester United midfielder Jack Fletcher has apologised for using a homophobic slur that has led to him receiving a six-match ban.

The England Under-19 international, son of United legend Darren Fletcher, was shown a red card in the 62nd minute of a 5-2 EFL Trophy defeat by Barnsley in October.

At the time it was not clear what had prompted the decision.

However, the Football Association has now confirmed that Fletcher, 18, was sent off for calling an opponent “gay boy” and that he has admitted the charge.

“I am truly sorry for the offensive word I used in the heat of the moment,” said Fletcher.
