The Reaction
local residents in south Manchester coming
together to transform a moment of hatred
into something beautiful, sticking
messages of love and support over the
graffiti
 The messages I've received today have been
positively overwhelming and seeing the
response in Withington had me on the verge of
tears. The communities that always wrapped
their arms around me continue to hold me up.
I'm Marcus Rashford, 23-year-old black man
from Withington and Wythenshawe, South
Manchester. If I have nothing else I have that.

—Marcus Rashford
