Marcus Rashford dedicated his two goals in England’s World Cup victory over Wales to a friend who recently died. The 25-year-old Manchester United forward pointed to the sky after hitting the net and revealed afterwards he was paying tribute to his friend following his tragic death.
Rashford said that he lost his pal 'a couple of days ago' following a long battle with cancer. He added that his friend had been a 'big supporter' of him and that he was 'pleased' he managed to score in his honour.
The Manchester-born star hit a superb free-kick and ended a mazy run by finishing through goalkeeper Danny Ward’s legs after Phil Foden had doubled England’s lead in what proved to be a 3-0 stroll against their British rivals in Al Rayyan.
