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.
'Rashford 2 Boris 0' graffiti site set to be redeveloped into flats
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe site of a demolished pub in Openshaw – infamously bearing the graffiti ‘RASHFORD 2, BORIS 0’ – might finally be set for development after sitting vacant for five years.
The words were daubed on a hoarding in 2021, when then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson had just got off the phone with Marcus Rashford, promising to improve the food parcels that families entitled to free school meals were receiving.
It was actually the third time the Manchester United forward had prompted a change of course from the government - so the graffiti was technically out of date.
The site it adorned has sat untouched since then, with the graffiti covered up by posters. But if planning documents verified by Manchester City Council are to come to fruition, this unloved corner of east Manchester could soon be getting a makeover.
