TV star goes BALLISTIC over 'embarrassing' photo of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford holding an AFL ball - and footy fans vent their fury as pic ignites war between codes

Furious Australian TV star Lucy Zelic has called out the AFL for posting a 'f***ing embarrassing' image on social media of Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford posing with a Sherrin footy.

Taking to Twitter, the 35-year-old was stunned to see the Red Devils striker promoting a rival code while based in Melbourne on his team's pre-season tour.

'Can someone tell me what the point of this is?' Zelic fumed.

'Is Marcus suddenly going to switch codes and sign for an AFL side? Go and pat a koala, meet with proud members of our Indigenous communities and spend time with grassroots FOOTBALL clubs.
