Television images appeared to show a fan making a gesture towards the Brazilian midfielder and team-mate Jesse Lingard during United's 2-1 win over local rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Fred, 26, was also hit by a lighter during the incident as several projectiles were thrown from a section of the home crowd while the Red Devils were preparing to take a corner in the 68th minute of the match. According to ESPN , City boss Guardiola approached the midfielder inside stadium to discuss the episode after he had concluded his post-match media commitments. The publication claims that a conversation between Ferran Soriano, the hosts' chief executive, and United director David Gill also took place in the tunnel following the final whistle. A 41-year-old man was arrested by Greater Manchester Police on Sunday on suspicion of racially aggravated public order after an investigation was launched. It came after City had swiftly released a statement after Saturday's match condemning the incident and pledging to work with the authorities to identify and ban the person involved. The Football Association has also confirmed it will investigate and plans to talk to both clubs, as well as referee Anthony Taylor, the police and other relevant parties. Talking to ESPN Brazil at the end of the game, Fred said that he believes the alleged provided evidence "we are still in a backward society". "On the field, I didn't see anything. I saw it only in the locker room afterwards," he said. "The guys showed me. He even threw a lighter and it hit me. I try not to care about that. I try to look ahead. "Unfortunately, this is happening in some stadiums. It happened here, it happened in Ukraine with some friends. It's sad, but we have to keep our heads up and forget about that. "We can't give them any attention because that's all they want. I spoke to the referee after the match, they will do something about it and that's all.

"Thank God I have a lot of friends here in the locker room who hugged me, like Lingard. "I don't want to think about it. I just want to move on."
