Only his ninth game of the season and with a goal scored, the Swede had racist comments in his latest publication on Instagram and one of the first to take a stand was Rashford. The striker had a similar situation when he missed a penalty kick in the Euro 2020 final against Italy.
Currently, people identified for these online crimes can be banned from football stadiums for three to ten years. The measure is still purely sporting, but is expected to form part of an amendment to the UK Police, Crime, Sentences and Courts Bill.
