Romelu Lukaku
.
Ibrahimovic and Lukaku exchanged insults in an argument during the Coppa Italia derby 2-1 victory over
Milanon Tuesday, and their furious row went on after the half-time was ended.
Ibrahimovic, who was dismissed for a second bookable offence, is accused of telling Lukaku to "Go do your voodoo s***, you little donkey."
Ibra denied all the accusations of abusing the Belgium international racially, who pulled the teams level before Christian Eriksen led his side to a victory with his late winner.
He tweeted: "
In ZLATAN's world there is no place for RACISM. We are all the same race – we are all equal!! We are all PLAYERS some better then [sic] others."
Pogba, who was Lukaku’s teammate at Manchester United, insisted that Ibrahimovic would not disrespect anyone’s race.
"
Zlatan... racist? He loves me too much so he's the last person I'd think of as racist! Come on, don't joke with that one!
" He posted on Twitter.
