Marcus Rashford of Manchester United partnered with LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.
James and Rashford worked together on the most recent episode of The Shop on the Uninterrupted.
James and Rashford were joined by Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya, billionaire Maverick Carter, famous artist Rashid Johnson, and marketing guru Paul Rivera.
During the show, Rashford, James, and the guests talked about their lives while heavily referencing the negative repercussions of racism.
Rashford attended the Rise movie premiere for NBA player Giannis Antetokoumpo while he was in the United States of America (USA) filming The Shop.
Rashford described how he went from being an academy player to a first team player at Premier League powerhouse Manchester United.
“Since six years old,” he said. Yes. For example, they began taking us to every home game when I was around seven or eight years old because I was a United supporter before I started playing for United.
As you may guess, I attended every home game from that age until I was eighteen, when I made my debut. Growing up and witnessing a team like Manchester United from the outside is one thing.
Rashford described the challenges Manchester United has faced since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure.
“So success was like once you get a taste for it and you learn how to make it, like, more of a sure thing,” he continued.
In contrast, the club has been going through a transformation since I joined the team. Finding stability has therefore been challenging. We have so many ups and downs because of this.
However, the club has a long and illustrious history.
To be honest, you know, I believe it’s a little bit of everything. As Sir Alex left, most people say. A lot has changed, really.
Speaking of rivalry, Rashford gave an explanation of his dislike for Liverpool, a Premier League opponent.
“No,” he responded. Liverpool doesn’t appeal to me. You don’t like City, but you don’t really have a great cause to dislike them. Of course, Liverpool has a stronger history, so it’s a little more sour.
“You simply mature, and there are only two Manchester sides. One is dressed in pale blue. One is dressed in crimson. The rivalry with Liverpool, however, is fair. It’s profound.
