Manchester United fans ordered to cut out the 'disgusting' Wenger abuse
Manchester United have branded a section of their fans 'disgusting' for their continued verbal abuse of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger - and want to stamp it out.[LNB] Wenger was subjected to an insulting chant urging him to sit down during Arsenal's 2-1 Barclays Premier League defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.[LNB] Lighter side: Wenger and United fans after the Arsenal boss was sent to the stands during Saturday's clash at Old Trafford[LNB] It is understood United chief executive David Gill is appalled by the treatment dished out to one of the most distinguished managers in the game. Gill is to attend a fans' forum next month - the club hold three per season - and will make the Wenger abuse a priority for discussion.[LNB] United had already decided to act before receiving a complaint from an Arsenal supporters' group.[LNB] United spokesman Philip Townsend said: 'We've gone on the record several times about this disgusting chant. We don't condone it and have appealed to fans in the past - through supporters' groups, the matchday programme and MUTV, but to no avail. There are many chants that opposing fans find objectionable, and this is certainly one to which all decent supporters should object.'[LNB] United are particularly embarrassed as it comes at a time when manager Sir Alex Ferguson is attempting to improve his relationship with his great rival.[LNB] Ferguson has previously condemned the chanting, saying: 'The police should be stepping in. There's enough to think about and admire in the game without resorting to denigrating people.'
