The 24-year-old striker was asked if he thought white players would absorb the same hatred and replied: "Honestly no, that's just the way I feel. I do not think it was similar. But I think people just reacted the way they did because they were angry and not because they were Three blacks. "
Rashford also referred to the heavy pressure on David Beckham after suffering a red card against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup and said: "I remember Beckham received threats to kill him and a lot of hatred. It happens, they just want you to win. There are certain elements in the sport that you can talk about all day, but "In the end, it's all opinions. In the past, I was also hated when I conquered. It sounds crazy, but I experienced it."
Rashford was asked if he was ever close to breaking down because of that hatred and said, "Not that as a striker you take risks all the time. If you don't take risks, you are doing something wrong."
