Marcus Rashford has condemned racist chanting by sections of Bulgaria's support during England's 6-0 Euro 2020 qualifying win in Sofia on Monday night, and has called on Uefa to 'stamp out' such behaviour.
The Fa has urged Uefa to investigate the racist chanting during England's victory in Sofia as "a matter of urgency".
The match in Sofia was marred by abuse directed at England's black players during the 6-0 win for Gareth Southgate's men, and the FA called on UEFA to take swift action as soon as the game ended.
Manchester United striker Rashford, who scored the first goal of the night, wrote on Twitter: "Not an easy situation to play in and not one which should be happening in 2019. Proud we rose above it to take three points but this needs stamping out.

"Thankful to the brilliant England support. You got behind us in the most meaningful way possible tonight and we are all very grateful. Have a safe journey home and take care."
Meanwhile, Rashford reserved praise for Bulgaria captain Ivelin Popov, who was involved in a heated debate with a section of home supporters near the tunnel as the rest of the players headed for the dressing rooms at half-time as the skipper attempted to reason with fans.
Rashford added in a further tweet: "Also been told what the Bulgaria captain did at half-time.
"To stand alone and do the right thing takes courage and acts like that shouldn't go unnoticed. #NoToRacism".
