Rashford said he received \u201cat least 70 racial slurs\u201d on social media following Man United\u2019s defeat against Villarreal in Gdansk, Poland.<\/p>\n

The England international played the entire 120 minutes as Man United drew 1-1 with Villarreal and scored his penalty in the shootout, which Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s side lost 11-10 against the LaLiga side.<\/p>\n

But after the game, Rashford wrote on Twitter: \u201cAt least 70 racial slurs on my social accounts counted so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those working to make me feel any worse than I already do, good luck trying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also reacting to the development, Man United said a number of their players were racially abused online following the final in Poland, although it is currently unclear who, other than Rashford, was targeted.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils tweeted: \u201cFollowing the #UEL final, our players were subjected to disgraceful racist abuse. If you see any form of abuse or discrimination, act and report it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
