Romelu Lukaku's agent has urged Manchester United supporters to stop signing an offensive chant about the striker.

A minority of United fans were heard defying club warnings during the 1-0 win at Southampton on Saturday.

Kick It Out have labelled the chant racist and Lukaku released a short statement last week telling supporters to 'respect each other'.

They continued at St Mary's, however, which has seen United liaise with Hampshire Police to find the culprits. Banning orders are an option.

Lukaku's representative Mino Raiola told The Times: 'He'd like this song to stop. They are talking more about the song than about his football. That's his and my quote.'

United moved to publish another statement on Saturday night. 'Manchester United has a zero tolerance stance on offensive chanting and behaviour,' it read.

'The club and player have been clear in asking for an end to the chant. The club has worked with relevant bodies and supporters groups in trying to eradicate any offensive behaviour and will take further action against individuals if this continues.

'The club is in discussion with the police and has asked for CCTV footage from Southampton and will try to identify those who disrespected the player's wishes not to sing the song.'

The song refers to the player's manhood and is sung to the tune of Stone Roses' Made of Stone.
