Manchester United has found no proof that their players were part of the Enzo Fernandez video.

In 2023, Manchester United fans were ecstatic as they celebrated their team's victory in the Carabao Cup. Among the players basking in the glory were Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho. However, amidst the joy and excitement, there were rumors circulating about a video that captured some Argentina players singing a racist song.

But according to Manchester United, there is no evidence to suggest that Martinez and Garnacho were involved in the video. The controversy arose when Argentina won the Copa America for the second time in a row, with a 1-0 win over Colombia. As the players celebrated on the team bus, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez went live on social media and started singing a racist and transphobic chant directed at France.

This video sparked outrage and led to FIFA and Chelsea launching disciplinary proceedings against Fernandez. He later issued an apology, stating that the video does not reflect his beliefs or character. However, his teammate Wesley Fofana described the video as "uninhibited racism," and the French Football Federation announced that they would be making a legal complaint.

The chant in question had first been sung by Argentina supporters during the 2022 World Cup. Martinez and Garnacho, who were also part of the Argentina squad celebrating their Copa America success, were not seen in the video. It was also not confirmed if Martinez was present at the time.

The video was shared on social media on Sunday night, causing a stir among fans and the media. However, according to reports from the Manchester Evening News, United has distanced themselves from the footage. A source stated that there is no evidence to suggest that either player was involved in the singing of the chant.

Meanwhile, Chelsea released a statement on Wednesday morning, welcoming Fernandez's apology, which he had shared on social media a few hours earlier. The statement emphasized that the club does not tolerate any form of discriminatory behavior and takes a stand against all forms of discrimination. They also stated that they would use this incident as an opportunity to educate and have initiated an internal disciplinary procedure.

In his public apology, Fernandez expressed regret for his actions, stating that the song contains offensive language, and there is no excuse for it. He also stated that he stands against discrimination in all forms and blamed the euphoria of their Copa America win for his behavior. He concluded by stating that the video and those words do not reflect his character or beliefs, and he is truly sorry.

As the controversy rages on, fans and the media await the outcome of FIFA and Chelsea's disciplinary proceedings. It is also a reminder that discrimination has no place in football, and it is everyone's responsibility to stand against it.
