TARGET ... Utd ace Saha was racially abused
MANCHESTER UNITED have complained to Benfica and UEFA about racist abuse and monkey noises aimed at their Euro stars.
Patrice Evra, Louis Saha, Kieran Richardson and Wes Brown were targeted and a source admitted: ?All the players were upset and angry by the chanting.?
The shameful incidents began as the players warmed up ahead of their Champions League Group F clash in Lisbon on Tuesday night.
And Saha, who bagged the winner in a 1-0 triumph for the Red Devils, is understood to have been a victim of the abuse throughout the game. A number of the club?s security staff were also intimidated.
United have now made their feelings clear in a letter to the Portuguese club and are also demanding UEFA take action.
Europe?s governing body could hit Benfica with a heavy fine or even a threat of ground closure.

I'm so damn angry reading that. I think they should be hit with a hefty fine for this disgusting shit! There's so much of this still going on throughout europe and it's a bloody disgrace.
I'm so pleased Saha got the goal to win the match. Let those racist c*nts chew on that for a while!
