Teenager Admits Racially Abusing Man United Star Rashford

A teenager has admitted racially abusing footballer Marcus Rashford on social media after England’s Euro 2020 final defeat.

Justin Price, 19, from Worcester, used Twitter to comment on the England striker after the penalty shoot-out against Italy in July.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said he targeted the player “based on the colour of his skin”.

Price is due to be sentenced on 30 March.

He tried avoiding detection by changing his username after the offensive message was reported, the CPS said.

Price, of Grandison Gardens, also denied the offence against the Manchester United player in his first police interview, but later admitted it when questioned a second time.
