France and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba sent a strong message to England’s Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho as three youngsters were subjected to online racist abuse after missing a penalty in a shootout against Italy in the Euro final on Sunday. While the entire football world is full of youngsters with the guts to take a penalty in a high-pressure situation, some fans decided to hurl abuses and verbal-assaults at the three youngsters soon after the Three Lions’ loss to Italy , who were crowned European champions.

The Manchester United midfielder lauded the efforts of his team-mates and Saka in the match and asked him to be proud of himself while combating racism. Here is the post uploaded by Pogba.

Rashford’s mural in Withington, Manchester was defaced and torn after the Euros final defeat, however, fans in attendance immediately covered areas of the mural with hearts and motivational posts. The obscene comments were covered with bags. The mural was painted by fans as a tribute to Rashford for his charitable work and campaign to feed the hungry and homeless during the lockdown.
Rashford recently took to Instagram to apologize to England fans for missing a penalty at a crucial time, but also reminded fans who abused him that he is ‘proud’ of where he comes from and What do you do.
It was a questionable decision by England manager Gareth Southgate to substitute Rashford and Sancho for the penalty shootout and also to include Saka, while Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish were left out.
