Ex Ghanaian Footballer Claims To Be Rashford’s Real Father

A former Ghanaian football star Michael Boye Marquaye is claiming to be the biological father of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

In an article published by the Ghana Soccer Net earlier this week, the Marquaye insists the England international has Ghanaian roots in what it referred to as a sensational claim.   

Marcus Rashford is known to have been born to a Jamaican father, Joseph Rashford and Brit Melaine in Wythenshawe, Manchester – England in the United Kingdom.

But 65-year-old Marquaye who is currently based in the UK, told Ghanaian radio station Starr FM he fathered the sensational Man United forward.

Marquaye is now challenging Jamaican Joseph Rashford as the biological father. It’s unclear why the 65-year-old has remained mute all these years but insists he is not doing so for monetary consideration and “wants to set the record straight that Rashford has Ghanaian roots.”

Rashford is a key figure in the United and England squads.

This article was first published on: 10 June 2020  by the Ghana Soccer Net under the headline: A former Ghanaian footballer claims to be “REAL” father of Marcus Rashford, insists Man United star is a native of the African nation.
