Ex-Man Utd Star Alleges Racial Abuse in Championship Clash, Vows to Speak Out

Okay, I need to help the user by shortening this article to around 650 words and adding some pictures. Let me start by reading through the original content to understand the key points.

The main events are: Hannibal Mejbri, a former Manchester United player now at Burnley, accused Milutin Osmajic of Preston North End of making a racist comment during a Championship match. The incident happened in the 56th minute, leading to a confrontation. Mejbri took to social media to denounce the racism, while Osmajic denied the allegations. Preston released a statement supporting Osmajic, and the referee handled the situation. Scott Parker, Burnley’s manager, commended the officials. Also, there’s background on Osmajic’s previous suspension for biting and Mejbri’s career move to Burnley.

I need to condense this. Let me outline the structure:

1. Headline and subheadlines from the original bullets.
2. Opening paragraph with the key accusation and denial.
3. Match context (score, teams, importance of the game).
4. Details of the incident during the 56th minute.
5. Mejbri’s social media statement.
6. Preston’s response and Osmajic’s denial.
7. Scott Parker’s comments about the incident and officials.
8. Background on Osmajic’s past suspension.
9. Mejbri’s career background.
10. Conclusion on the ongoing investigation.

Adding pictures: The original has several images. I’ll note places where images could be inserted, like Mejbri’s reaction, Osmajic, Parker, and the match action.

Now, trimming each section. Remove redundant phrases, combine sentences where possible. The original was around 650 words already but had a lot of HTML and ads. The actual content is shorter. Let me check word count.

Original text without HTML and ads is around 500-600 words. Since the user wants around 650, maybe the user counts differently. I need to ensure that the essential info is kept, with the back-and-forth between Mejbri and Preston/Osmajic. Also, include quotes from both sides, managers, and the previous biting incident.

Make sure to attribute statements properly, keep the chronology clear. Use concise language without losing critical details. Add picture placeholders where relevant, maybe 2-3 images. For example, a photo of the confrontation, Mejbri’s social media post, and Osmajic during the game.

Check for flow: Introduce the incident, then each party’s response, background, and current status. Avoid redundancy, like repeating that Osmajic denies the claim. Mention once in Preston’s statement and maybe when Parker talks about the officials handling it.

Ensure that the word count is met by trimming examples, combining paragraphs. For instance, the original mentions the clean sheet and promotion push; that’s context but can be briefly mentioned.

Finally, format with clear sections, headings, and notes on images. Use the user’s example response as a template for markdown, include bold for names and teams.
