Former Man United defender Paul McGrath responds to Glen Johnson's comments that McGrath singled him out in the Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra race row.

Former Manchester United defender Paul McGrath has admitted that he is 'saddened' by Liverpool defender Glen Johnson for accusing the 52-year-old of singling him out because of his colour.

The Liverpool full-back hit out against the ex-Aston Villa player for criticising Johnson for wearing a T-shirt supporting Luis Suarez following the race row with United defender Patrice Evra.

Johnson told the Daily Mail: "The McGrath thing ... that's actually racist. Saying what he said is racist. He is only saying that to me because I was the only black lad wearing the T-shirt. He's targeting me because of my colour."

McGrath later tweeted: "It saddens me that Glen Johnson has called me a racist, but he is entitled to his opinion."

Johnson also accused Evra of not offering his hand before Suarez snubbed the handshake ahead of Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to the Red Devils last month.
