After missing his shot on goal in the euro final, player Marcus Rashfod and two of his teammates fell victim to a torrent of hateful messages on social media.
The next day in Withington, a mural of Marcus Rashford was covered in racist graffiti.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson denounced racist slurs.
"You can criticize my performance all day, my penalty was not good enough, it should have come in, but I will never apologize for being who I am," said the player.
But supporters have turned this mural into a wall of support by hanging words of encouragement, hearts and drawings. The player is very committed to his city: he is committed to feeding, through free school meals, the most disadvantaged children at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
