Marcus Rashford claims England stars WOULDN'T have received same level of abuse after Euro 2020 final if three white players missed penalties against Italy as Man United striker opens up about vile racist messages to NBA superstar LeBron James

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford believes England stars would not have received abuse after the Euro 2020 final if three white players missed penalties against Italy last summer.

Rashford was targeted by trolls with vile racist messages on social media after he failed with his spot kick at Wembley Stadium, along with his fellow black team-mates Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who also missed their efforts.

The 24-year-old, who opened up on the episode to basketball icon LeBron James on his Shop YouTube series, said he did not feel white players would receive the same treatment from fans, claiming supporters 'wouldn't have noticed'.
