England women's coach Phil Neville is calling for a boycott of social media after Manchester United star Paul Pogba was racially abused.

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham and Reading's Yakou Meite have also recently received online racist abuse.

"I personally think that we have to take drastic measures now as a football community," Neville said.

"I've had it with my players on social media, the Premier League stars, the other divisions have had it and I just wonder whether as a football community now we come off social media.

"Twitter won't do anything about it, Instagram won't do anything about it. They send you an email reply saying they'll investigate but nothing happens.

"I've lost total faith in whoever runs these social media departments so as a football community in terms of really sending out a powerful message, let's come off social media and see the effect that it has on these social media companies and whether they are really going to do something about it."
