Rashford was one of three players to miss their penalties as England suffered defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
Following the gut-wrenching miss, the striker's social media pages were flooded with vile racist comments.
In an emotional statement, Rashford apologised for missing his penalty but says he'll never be sorry for who he is.

England skipper Harry Kane has called out those abusing his team mates.
Three lads who were brilliant all summer had the courage to step up & take a pen when the stakes were high. They deserve support & backing not the vile racist abuse they’ve had since last night. If you abuse anyone on social media you’re not an @England fan and we don’t want you. pic.twitter.com/PgskPAXgxV
