Marcus Rashford (born 31 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
A Manchester United player from the age of seven, he scored two goals on both his first-team debut against Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League in February 2016 and his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He also scored in his first Manchester derby match, his first EFL Cup match and his first UEFA Champions League match. With United, Rashford has so far won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Europa League.
Wiley has responded to the backlash over his photo with footballers Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, who were forced to apologise. Earlier this week, a photo circulated on social media of the rapper posing with the Manchester United stars in a Dubai nightclub on Sunday.
However, it was highlighted that Wiley was embroiled in an anti-Semitism scandal after allegedly making offensive comments about the Jewish community in 2020.
Following apologies from both Rashford and Lingard, a video emerged on social media of Wiley addressing the controversy surrounding the photo.
He said: ‘Mate, whoever wants to take a picture with each other, just let them take pictures mate. If I see one of my friends in a picture with someone I do not like, I’m not gonna make up a fuss, I just carry on with life. ‘Let people take pictures with whoever they want, mate. ’ In his statement, England footballer Rashford said: ‘This picture has been brought to my attention which I understand now, given context, could easily be misconstrued. ‘I would like to reinforce that I do not and will not condone discriminative language or behaviour of any kind aimed at the Jewish community or any other community. ‘I truly believe that tackling antisemitism in and outside of the game requires a greater level of attention and should very much form part of the game’s anti-racism stance. ’Rashford has previously spoken out against racism and was widely hailed for his response last year after becoming a target for abuse following his missed penalty in the Euro 2020 final.
