Man Utd’s Rashford racially abused after Europa League final

Forward says he faced ‘at least 70 racial slurs’ on social media after loss to Villarreal in Gdansk.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford says he faced “at least 70 racial slurs” on social media after his team’s loss to Villarreal in the Europa League final in Gdansk. Villarreal won its first major trophy 11-10 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time in Wednesday’s final. “At least 70 racial slurs on my social accounts counted so far,” Rashford tweeted, less than 90 minutes after the game finished. “For those working to make me feel any worse than I already do, good luck trying.”
