Oyogist.com has learned that man united striker, Marcus Rashford has said he had received “at least 70 racial slurs” on social media following man united penalty loss to Villarreal.
While speaking on their Europa league loss, rashford said in an interview with BT sport;”In the league we finished second. Second doesn’t count for nothing,”
“Manchester City win the league, we finish second, it doesn’t mean nothing. Villarreal win the Europa League, we finish second, for us it means nothing.“I don’t want to hear, ‘they were so close’. It doesn’t mean anything. There is one winner and one loser and today we lost. We have to find out why and make sure next time we don’t lose.
” Despite the disappointment, Rashford insisted United would return stronger next season.“The feeling inside is difficult to explain because we came here to win,” “We have been working so hard all season and this was the opportunity to win a trophy and it didn’t happen for whatever reason. We have to get rid of the disappointment and after that we need to look back at the game and see what we’ve done wrong and where we can improve. Rashford said.
This isn’t the first time rashford is recieving such critics on social media, recall earlier in January rashford recieved series of insults on his official social media handles.In response, Rashford said;
“Yes I’m a black man and I live every day proud that I am.
“No one is going to make me feel any different. So sorry if you were looking for a strong reaction, you’re just simply not going to get it here.”
