'People are hurting and we need answers' - Rashford joins Sancho in speaking out after George Floyd's death

Marcus Rashford has spoken out in support of the Black Lives Matter campaign, as civil unrest continues in the United States.

George Floyd died while in police custody in Minnesota last week, sparking large scale protests and subsequent riots in many cities across the U.S.

On Sunday, Rashford's England team-mate Jadon Sancho celebrated the first of his three goals in Borussia Dortmund's 6-0 win over Paderborn by revealing a t-shirt with the message "Justice for George Floyd". Now Manchester United star Rashford has used his Twitter account to show his backing for the Black Lives Matter campaign.
