The Brazilian was sent a number of racially abusive messages, including racial slurs and 'monkey emojis'. He was previously racially abused this season after Red Devils' FA Cup exit to Leicester.
Back in March, Fred said, "we are bigger and better than that" after being abused on social media following the quarter-final defeat.
Five days later, Instagram confirmed it had removed a number of accounts related to the incident.
Fred's teammates Marcus Rashford, Axel Tuanzebe and Anthony Martial, have also been targeted for online racist abuse this season.
