Wales manager Ryan Giggs says Liverpool fullback Neco Williams needs to handle online criticism - if he wants to persist in keeping social media accounts.
The 19-year-old defender was hammered on social media following Liverpool's 7-2 third round victory against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup last month.
"It's something you have to deal with when you are at big clubs," Giggs said.
"All you can do is surround yourself with good people, educate yourself as much as you can when it comes to social media, and then it's your choice whether you want to be a part of it or not.
"I do sometimes think whether I would have been on social media (in my playing days), I'm not too sure. But it's part and parcel of life now.

"He's at Liverpool, when you are at a big club you are going to have to take criticism at some point if you set a certain standard and you drop below it. Even for 10 minutes.
"Having just worked with Neco, he's got a sensible head on his shoulders.
"I'm looking forward to working with Neco again. He was great to work with and the qualities he showed in the games as well."
