“I want to make it clear I have never seen this photo, I do not know this person, and I am not friends with him,” Rashford wrote. He explained that while he is often asked for photos, it is impossible to conduct background checks on every individual.
Instead of focusing on him, Rashford urged the media to use their platforms to raise awareness about important issues, such as knife crime. He highlighted the work of charities and individuals tackling this problem and expressed sympathy for the family of Jimmy Mizen, a schoolboy murdered in London in 2008.
This statement comes as Rashford, who has been out of Manchester United’s squad for a month, faces ongoing speculation about his future at the club. With the January transfer window open, interest from European clubs continues to grow.
