Man Utd stars Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford share moving anti-racism messages in wake of George Floyd’s death

PAUL POGBA and Marcus Rashford sent powerful anti-racism messages after violence in America.

George Floyd died when a white police officer knelt on his neck during his arrest in Minneapolis, prompting huge protests.

And Manchester United team-mates Pogba and Rashford have now joined calls for change.

Pogba, 27, said: “I felt anger, pity, hatred, indignation, pain, sadness.

“Sadness for George and all black people who suffer racism every day.

“Whether in football, at work, at school, anywhere!

“This has to stop, once and for all. Not tomorrow or the next day, today!

“Violent racism can no longer be tolerated. I can’t tolerate. I won’t tolerate. We won’t tolerate.

“Racism is ignorance. Love is intelligence.”

Striker Rashford, 22, added: “I’ve been trying to process what is going on in the world.

“At a time I’ve been asking people to come together, work together and be united, we appear more divided than ever.
