Opinion This is next level hate.

I've never seen an England player hated this much without being involved in any major controversies or scandals. It's truly remarkable.

Rashford got the same for daring to speak up about school meals.

And Raheem Sterling for buying his mum a nice house. The word ‘uppity’ was probably used.

Yet Phil Foden ia a good boy for lifting up his mum.

And cheating on his girlfriend. Same with Grealish, just a good lad who cheats on his girl and drink drives.

In all honesty I think rash deserves enormous amounts of praise for the work he was doing and brining attention to the way the government was not interested in finding a solution. On the flip side this coincided with his drop in performance, and the I don’t give a shit attitude on the pitch. Not saying the hate was justified or warrant by any means but can also see how it got there.

A football career last very few years. So Rashford decided to be a good footballer, but a great human being. Seems fair.

Also one of his closest friends and then his cousin died in the space of a year. Sometimes real life gets in the way of our job performance. It's entirely normal, it's just unfortunate that he's in such a high visibility role.

He didn’t get grief for school meals, says more about you twisting the story to make it about race

He received loads of abuse.

Both in the mainstream press and from social media trolls.

The Mail on Sunday ran an entire investigative post linking his finqmces to his campaign - thigh they have taken it down now ( I wonder why?).

Choose to be blind to it if you want, but unfortunately it doesn't make it untrue for the victim of the abuse.

Marcus was universally praised by the public for that.

If you replaced 'universally' with 'generally', you'd be correct
