'I never feel 100% safe in the US' – former Man City defender Onuoha backs protesters following George Floyd death

The 33-year-old, who also turned out for QPR, has given insight into the differences between living in the UK and the United States

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha admits that he never feels “100 per cent safe” going out in the USA and has thrown his full backing behind the ongoing protests against police brutality in the country.

Demonstrations have been taking place across the United States since the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died after officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for over eight minutes.

Onuoha, who now plays for Real Salt Lake in Major League Soccer, feels the protests are long overdue and added that US gun laws play a part in never being able to fully relax as a person of colour.
