Marcus’ tears over support

Floods of support came after a mural of England footballer Marcus Rashford was graffitied with racist comments. Locals in Manchester wasted no time in covering it with notes calling him a hero and role model. Marcus, 23, who has helped raise £20m and campaigned to end child food poverty, said he was “on the verge of tears” over the messages. The incident is under police investigation and came after Marcus missed a penalty in the Euro 2020 final, along with Jadon Sancho, 21, and Bukayo Saka, 19, who have also faced abuse. Captain Harry Kane said, “If you abuse anyone on social media, you’re not an England fan and we don’t want you.”
