https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56049254Abuse on social media should be "easy to stop", says Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford.
Rashford is one of several players to have been racially abused online in recent weeks, while manager Steve Bruce and referee Mike Dean have received death threats.
Social media companies have been told by football's authorities to "go further" with how they deal with abuse.
But Rashford thinks the first step is simply to "deactivate accounts".
"Online abuse should be easy to stop," the 23-year-old told Sky Sports. "You just deactivate the accounts.
"It's very easy to make four or five accounts but if you've got to block them out you block them out.
"I feel that's on the actual social media companies themselves - Instagram, Twitter.
"If they see anyone that's being racially abused or abused in any way their accounts should be deleted straight away.
"That's one way of getting rid of most of it, if not all of it."
