Antisemitism activist and television presenter Rachel Riley has said that she will stop supporting the club she's been a lifelong fan of if they reinstate Mason Greenwood.

Riley, who co-presents Countdown said on Twitter: "I won’t be able to support United if Greenwood remains at the club. We’ve all seen and heard enough. Pretending this is OK would be a huge part of the problem.

“It would be devastating for my club to contribute to a culture that brushes this under the carpet … I really hope they do the right thing.”

Riley also confirmed to a fan that she had got rid of a Manchester United shirt given to her by club legend Ryan Giggs during filming for an episode of Countdown in 2013.
