A university withdrew an offer from a student after racist abuse against English players after the EURO 2020 final.
Video footage from a Snapchat group chat was circulating on Instagram in which a person was heard using racist language to Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who each missed penalties in the shooting at Wembley Stadium.
A spokesman for Nottingham Trent University said: “This allegation does not apply to an NTU student. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination, including racism.
“We dealt with this matter immediately and withdrew an offer from an applicant.”
