Marcus Rashford has said sorry for his missed penalty in England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy but will “never apologise” for who he is. I’ve always backed myself for a penalty, but something didn’t feel quite right. The messages I’ve received today have been positively overwhelming and seeing the response in Withington had me on the verge of tears. “I’m Marcus Rashford, 23-year-old black man from Withington and Wythenshawe, South Manchester. We’ll be back stronger.”In response, the official England account responded to Rashford on Twitter with a message of support.
