Phil Neville has called on the football community to stage a six-month social media boycott in response to the recent wave of racist abuse directed at players, including Manchester United's Paul Pogba.
The England women's manager said he had lost faith in social media companies and suggested a collective withdrawal would send a powerful message and force platforms to act.
Pogba was targeted after missing a penalty against Wolves, following similar abuse directed at Chelsea's Tammy Abraham and Reading's Yakou Méïté. Neville also recalled the abuse suffered by Karen Carney earlier in the season.
Neville backed Harry Maguire's call for verification and accountability, saying anonymity allows abusers to act with impunity.
Twitter responded by condemning the abuse, saying it had suspended accounts and was working with the PFA and Kick It Out to address the issue.
