Marcus Rashford has released a statement on Instagram after being contacted by a tabloid outlet over a photo of him allegedly posing with a convicted murderer. The England international denied knowing the person in the photo and urged tabloids to focus on raising awareness about charities and individuals working to tackle knife crime. This is not the first time Rashford has been photographed with a controversial musician, as he previously posed with MC Wiley, who had made antisemitic posts on social media.
