Arsenal are investigating social media posts sent to Kai Havertz’s wife amid the club’s third-round exit to Manchester United in the FA Cup.

Havertz missed a penalty in Arsenal’s shootout defeat at the Emirates before his partner, Sophia – who is expecting her first child with the Germany international – reposted two abhorrent messages she had received on Instagram.
