Marcus Rashford hits back at Daily Mail following property jibes

Marcus Rashford has hit back following a prying Daily Mail article exposing his property portfolio.

The Manchester United and England forward took a dim view of a piece exposing the “£2 million-worth” of luxury homes which he has bought since becoming a sought after professional footballer.

Tweeting in response, he said: “I’m 23. I came from little. I need to protect not just my future but my family’s too.

“To do that I made a decision at the beginning of 2020 to start investing more in property.

“Please don’t run stories like this alongside references to campaigning.”

The article has provoked outrage on social media, with Jess Phillips saying he can do “whatever he wants with his money”.

Others have also hit out. Here’s a pick of what they’ve had to say:
