“I’m Marcus Rashford, 23 years old, black man from Withington and Wythenshawe, South Manchester.”
After Marcus Rashford missed his penalty against Italy in the Euros final he was subjected to horrid racial abuse online.
The fake football fans took things further when they defaced and vandalised a mural of Rashford in Withington, Manchester.
