'All I can say is sorry' - Rashford opens up on personal turmoil while expressing pride in face of racism

The Manchester United forward has paid tribute to his team-mates and his hometown support after missing from the spot at Wembley

Marcus Rashford has said that he has "felt no prouder moment" representing England at Euro 2020 and says that he "will never apologise for who I am and where I came from" after he was subjected to racist abuse once more following the Three Lions' penalty shootout heartbreak against Italy in Sunday's final

Gareth Southgate's side took Roberto Mancini's Azzurri all the way through extra-time in a 1-1 draw, only to be edged out 3-2 on spot-kicks, with Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka the three players to see their efforts fall short, sparking a slew of slurs from a vocal minority on and off social media.
