The Mural was defaced because the Manchester United player missed a penalty that was key to ensuring the Three Lions of England were defeated 4-2 on penalties by the Italians at Wembley on Sunday, July 11, 2021.

The funds raised from a crowdfunding page set up by fans to help repair the defaced Mural will be redirected to a Charity, Fare Share Greater Manchester.

Marcus Rashford confirmed via his official Twitter handle on Monday, July 26th, 2021, that the money raised will rather help feed children in a charity home this summer holiday. He tweeted;

Thank you Withington Walls, Akse 19, to Julie who kicked this all off, and to everyone who pledged a couple of ponds towards this fund.
